I need help again. Haven't been on the board since December when my ABS went out. Well.... ABS is out again and I need HELP!!!!
Prior rebuilt my unit and I had a shop put it on. Appears they bled the system correctly when they installed the unit, but the pedal has always seemed a little spongy since I got it back. Also the brake and ABS light seemed to stay on a little too long for my liking when I first started the car. Drove it for 5 months and the ABS light started coming on sometimes and then wouldn't come on for a couple of days. Every once in a while the brakes seemed to "let loose" while at a stop. This weekend the lights came on and the pedal went hard (just like back in December) and of course, no power brakes. Got to 2 foot it just to get it to stop. ABS and brake lights are on. Tried bleeding the system with no luck. Also, when pumping the pedal with the car off, fluid would come out of the top of the reservoir from around the cap. Replaced the relays again and checked the fuses.
Does anyone have ANY ideas? Prior said I could take the car up to them and they'll try to diagnose the ABS problem with the unit on the car, but now I can't stop and can't afford to tow it! Also, it's due for emissions testing this month which it will not pass. That's a question I'll have later....
Got a MONEY PIT here and can't afford anymore $900 ABS jobs but don't want to give up my SC. If anyone knows of anyone that does SC work in the Dallas Texas area, that would also be a consideration.
ANY and ALL comments, ideas, etc. will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
