Default ABS & Low trac lights on after 12 bolt install...

WTF? Any suggestions? Moser 12 bolt. I know I didn't pull any wires, but I'll be checking it all again. Any other suggestion on what it might be?

I would say maybe a ABS sensor either went bad or installed wrong(unlikely)or damaged when being installed.

This happened on my T/A. It was a 3-channel setup, and we didn't get good connections when we spliced into the wires. My ABS INOP and e-brake light would stay on. We re-wired the connections, and it worked great.

But I never spliced anything together. It was a plug & play. Anthough I did have to force the sensors into position, because of the bigger tube being closer to the sensor hole, so I could have damaged it.

The low track light comes on every now & then, goes off, then comes on, and the same with the ABS INOP. So I'll check the connections again. Other then that, I guess I'll have to have someone look at the sensors & see if they are working right.

Even when the ABS light is not on, it feels like it is just the front brakes working, and the pedal feels different. I'd like to get this fixed before I take it to get tuned.

The only other time it did this was after I trashed the spider gears and had to do a complete rebuild. The sensor got damaged.

Black Sunshine,

How did you put the reluctors on the new axles? They should be heated and dropped into place. If they were pressed/hammered into place then they could be damaged. Also, they only go 1 way. If they are upside down then the sensor to reluctor distance will be off...
