Posted: Wed Jul 28, 2010 15:32 Post subject: ABS Wiring Burnt Out |
|
|
A few months ago I had a problem with one of the fuses in the cab box of my 1996 Trooper Citation (254,000 miles and counting) repeatedly blowing (it was C4 ELEC IG - there's a thread about it elsewhere) which I thought I'd solved with the help of the manual .pdf. It appears I declared victory too soon.
The other day there was a strong smell of burning and quite a bit of smoke in the cabin, the car was pulled over and immediately switched off (possibly an error in hindsight ).
Getting it back to the yard I discovered that while it started and ran all the functions that fed off the C4 fuse were kaput and the fuse itself was completely melted, implying a pretty big short.
I've ruled out the windows, the rear demister and the heated mirrors leaving just the ABS system.
Following the burnt-out wires from the back of the fuse box, across the underside of the dash, through the bulkhead on the passenger's side, around the n/s battery and under the engine I have deduced that the wire probably goes to a switch/sensor at the front of the driver's side of the gearbox labelled "TRANSMISSION SW-1,2" in the workshop manual.
My problem is that the car is due it's MoT soon but will fail with duff ABS so I'd like to know what the "TRANSMISSION SW-1,2" does and whether it can be bypassed/rewired to get the ABS functioning without replacing the wiring loom or laying a new wire that travels nine or ten feet round the vehicle just to get the three or four feet from the fuse box to the gearbox. |

I would also be interested in an answer to your question. Any taker? |

My impression is there is some electrical problem with the sotf, shift on the fly in the front axle, which is shorting the circuit |
