Fixed my ABS issues

[my92t4r]

I have been having an intermittently ABS light that would come light up on/off since I brought the truck 2 months ago. Today I took the time and cleaned all the electrical connectors and cleaned all the sensors. But my light was still on after the hard work, then I started to look at the wiring for the ABS. All look good except for my RR sensor wiring. Right where it mount to the shock tower, somehow it got kinked and the wiring were touching, causing my intermittent ABS light on/off. So, anyways.....if you are having ABS light issues, check all the wiring for fray/kinked.
I am so happy now that I can drive my car without having to worry about the wheels locking up.
Have a good day. Thanks for letting me share.

You fixed it by removing it? :rapture: j/k; Nice find, it always pays to start from the end and work your way back!

Alright,

As the title says. I was working on a 99 SR5 4x4 5speed. I was working on the rear shock mounts and cutting off some home made brackets for eye style shock. After mounting all the new hardware and getting things wrapped up the ABS light came right on. I looked at everything and all looked fine under there as far as the wiring etc. All clips were in the correct place etc.

Also- The cruise control is also working intermittent. I really do not think they are related but it is interesting they are happening at the same time.

Beside what is above anyone have any other ideas. PS- The truck in now in WY with its owner so it will be hard to look but I will pass it on to it's owner who is on the forum.
