ABS Light Came on/ Traction Control won't turn off

xilShoop · May 28, 2004

I just lowered my mach 1 with eibach sportline 2.0 in the front and 1.8 in the back..

THE ABS Light came on and i noticed that the traction control won't turn off, like that is not that is a problem cause i hate that damn thing but id like it to work, am wondering if anyone can help, i took it back to the guy who lowered it and he said he didnt disconnect any brake lines to lower my car which i find hard to believe. And any suggestions on if i should take it to ford or would they just tell me to f off cause i have bassani x pipes/cats/ borla exhaust/ intake/ lowered/ and BBK short shifter and some pullies?

I know my ABS worked before he lowered it, is there some sensors i can tweak or anything, i tried to reset the computer and it still wont work.

On the other hand i have another problem, my car is drifting to the right and i just got it alligned after the drop and i have 5k old miles on some eagle f1's in the front and brand new nitto's in the back/ what could possibly make it drift not that it is drifting horriable but if i let go of the wheel it will start drfting to the right, its something i could live with but its annoying

any help would be awesome

thanks guys..

An ABS sensor may have been damaged. Check them to see if they are cracked or maybe disconnected.

What he said...likely the rear ABS sensors have been affected or disconnected...happened to me on a rear end install and I had to replace both and its all better...$160 though! Todd

you guys are right

took it to ford in poway, ca today, and told the service advisor that i was taking a turn with traction control off and i heard a jolt and after checking my sensors on my dash, the abs light was on and i could not take off the traction control.

He then said, well your car doesnt look stock height, fool around with the suspension? which is attached to the ABS <) and then i replied with, i hate the bumpyness of the stock suspension, got a eibach replacement and it rides how it should ride.

He took the car in with a grudge and long live fords extended warranty, 9 years baby, and he fixed all 4 ABS sensors within a hour free of cost.

I got the car alligned and the cambers alligned, still drifted. i guess the problem was the front right tire was toe outwards so i switched the tires on both side and it seems to be alligned...

tomorrow im bringing the car to a differant ford and ask them why my first gear bearings are messed up. has anyone tried that jumping from dealer to dealer with the extended warranties getting better service at differant ones with aftermarket products. for example one in escondido, ca, wont touch my car but poway will and so will one downtown

odd

talk about qualilty control

thanks guys
