baz8328 0 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Ive fitted some Red Dot pads and discs a while ago . However there is no electrical connector on the pads ! DOHSo now when my ignition is on the ABS light is on !!Apart from the obvious changin the pads (which i cant afford to do - redundancy) is there any tips or ways of getting past this !!PLEASE HELP Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 The abs light isnt a pad warning light.....that is on the clocks. You must have an abs problem! Link to post Share on other sites
baz8328 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Could it be due to not having any brake fluid in the car as i have just had all the calipers and carriers powder coated ! Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon Dave 1 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I fitted new discs and pads to the rear recently. After they were fitted the ABS light came on. The mechanic said it would be the ABS sensors.He replaced them and now the light doesn't come on except for when you first start the engine. The ABS sensors were £24 for the pair.

Dragon Dave 1 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I didn't do the job myself but I think it is as easy as changing a disc.I'm not a mechanic, so I don't know how easy it is to change a disc.The parts that needed to be replaced on mine were inside the hub on the back of the brake disk (I think).The mechanic took off the disc and replaced a piece on the back.If I remember correctly... it was a round thing with teeth on it that fitted into teeth inside the hub on the back of the disc.When he first did the job he used the original pieces and they were not a tight fit, then he replaced these pieces with new ones that were a tight fit and the light went off after that.I'm sorry if I'm not very helpful. If you want, I could ask my mechanic what the details are... Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 abs sensors bolt into the hub behind the disc completly seperate to the pad small allen key bolt holds them in place Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 If you have no fluid that could bring on the light....the pump may sense no fluid and think theres a fault??? Link to post Share on other sites
b-a 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 i had this on mine but the light only came on again after passin 90 mph but stayed off if i didnt go that fast lol , it turned out to be a rota cup witch looks like a cup cake case but hollow lol easyist way to describe it lol once that was replace no more problem .
