RE: ABS - 90Q

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

Has any work been done near the wheel bearings recently? Sounds like
mebbe an ABS sensor is out of its appropriate location. They are very
sensitive to distance from the toothed ring on the halfshaft they pick
up speed from, new ones come with a sacrificial plastic thingy that
makes it easy to set the correct distance.

Another possible is ABS computer not getting juice (but wouldn't that
also kill the dash idiot lite?). I had lack of ABS on my '89 90, the
dealer applied $25 worth of troubleshooting, discovered corroded
connections on the back of the fusebox, cleaned up while there, voila,
no more lack of ABS.
