For a while now, my car has flashed the ANTILOCK and the BRAKE lights whenever I pressed the gas pedal and then they would go away. If you slammed on the brakes, then the pedal would get hard for a second and then go to the floor. A few days ago, I lost power breaks and had a hard pedal, but the car would still stop with some leg into it.
Soooo, I finally bought an accumulator, put it on today, and it didn't make a difference until I drove it for a little bit. Whenever I was going down the highway, I got the pedal back, and then I slammed on the brakes to test for the momentary hard pedal. It stopped better than it ever had, so I know the accumulator I had on it was bad, and the one I bought was definitely better. The lights went out about 30 seconds after that and I thought I was good.
I was driving to AutoZone, from school, and both lights came on and stayed one, but the pedal was still working well. I stopped at an AutoZone about twenty minutes later, came back to the car, started it, and didn't have any power brakes, again.
Taking a stab in the dark, I'm going to guess that the ABS motor is bad. I figured that I could try to jump the motor to see if I can get it to run. I'm open to suggestions, though. What do you guys think?
Thanks, in advance.
