Re: ABS quit working ...Temporarily
there might be a wiring problem for the rear sensor which is in the rear
axle housing and the wiring is often cut by the parking brake cable causing
the lite to come on it's real easy to see if you crawl under the bac and
look at the wiring going at the top of the housing to the speed sensor

Re: ABS quit working ...Temporarily
That was in Toronto Ontario Canada.
Ya I was pissed, the ***** was on a beater hunt. He already had 3 other
sets of plates in his trunk.
It was an out of province truck and getting it safety certed would have
been trouble due to some, well lots of rust holes and the bottom edge of
all the box, so I bit the ticket and ran on 10 day temp stickers until I
got rid of it.
Rusty vehicles aren't allowed here, so it was a 'heat score' vehicle.
