ABS Warning Light


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Just a quick question, how do i remove the cover over the ABS warning lamp on my VR? I've heard they just clip off but I don't want to break it trying to take it off so some advice on removal would be appreciated. I should probably explain that the reason i'm doing this is because I have the MOT due tomorrow and my ABS pump has failed so although it's not affecting the braking it will fail the MOT so I'm just going to take the bulb out of the warning lamp.

It's a '96 Highline by the way.

Thanks in advance.

You might still fail if the MOT if the testers any good.

The light is ment to come on and then go out after a few seconds but you might be lucky.

Only way to get round this would be to put a capacitor connected to a relay, conected to the ingintion, So the capacitor gets charged up while your ignition is off, When you turn on the ignition the relay clicks over to conect the capacitor to the light relising all the power contained buy it to put the light on for a few seconds.

Im doing this as im removing my ABS and if it wont go though MOTs then thats what im going to have to do. Sounds like alot of work but it wont be too bad!!!

Cheers for the advice guys, the panel came out easy enough and I just disconnected the entire block. Car sailed through the MOT. Well I say sailed through, it did have to have a new headlight, door handle and cv joint but it got through and thats the important bit.
