hey everyone. Im still having problem with my abs that i cant figure out and looking for some input. A few weeks ago my ebrake light and antilock light started to come on in my car. It usually happened when cold, and they would shut off after a while. When the lights were on the break pedal would rise and stiffen giveing little presure available to the wheels. For the last week or so whenever i would use the break the lights would like up, then the break light will go out, and then the anti lock, while i still have complete pressure. Ive read about it being the accumilator pump or possibly the relays going to the firewall. When i shut off my engine sometimes i can hear the pump still running. To make sure it doesnt burn out ive been unpluging my battery everytime i stop, which seems to work. I was pretty sure it had to do with the pump so i was going to replace it but the last 2 days both lights have been on and wont turn off, with the pump running and normal breaking pressure? Im confuesed. Why are the lights on when they are working? I dont want to go replace the acc pump if its something else like relays, valve leading into the pump, or the abs computer itself shorting out. Any ideas. The next step it to take it to a shop and have them charge me money to hook it up to the abs machine and tell me some bs that pro wont even work. Please help. I need my breaks to be reliable(even thought its a ford). lol. THanks all for your help. Zach
