Hey gents, like the title states.. After I did my trans swap I lost abs shortly after, initially I thought I had knocked a connector loose somewhere when I was cursing at re-installing my torque arm. Today I was doing some maintenance and poked around, I couldn't find any other wires where these could splice into? Take a look, maybe you guys have an idea. Axle is a Strange 12 bolt, I didn't swap it in so I have no idea where the hook ups are- I only see what I can with the car jacked up. Thanks

If it was a 3 channel, it would connect on top of the pumpkin, 4 channel (TCS) would connect on each side of the axles.

The connector as shown for a 3 channel rear on the stock 10 bolt:

From the last pic you have on there, looks like somebody wire tied the wiring. Maybe your 12bolt rear doesn't have the provision for the abs connector so they left if disconnected.

Since you said your abs was working, check strange's website: http://www.strangeengineering.net/

Under the 12bolt link for fbodies there is a diagram that you can zoom into where you can see the optional abs connection on the pumpkin.

I'll upload the pic of the diagram:

Thank you so much! Yes it is a 3 channel axle, I couldn't for the life of me feel out any connector. I hope I can get to it with the axle in the car and it being jacked off the ground.

Yes the ABS worked fun until I did my trans swap, I was having a really hard time getting the torque arm bolted up cause of the way the car was partially jacked up putting the axle at a poor angle so I definitely had my hands rummaging around the top of the axle trying to drop the bolts in.

Thanks again, I'll give it another shot tomorrow- hopefully I can hook it back up.

Be sure to update.

Not good

From what I can see with the axle at max droop, there is something that looks/ feels like a nut on top of the pumpkin/ housing with 1 wire coming out about 3", and just another nub of wire in the nut.

I guess its time to figure out how to partially drop the axle and hope there is enough wiring left there to splice into or connectors that I can replace.

Sounds like a tight fit, time to get crackin

To drop the rear end down some rear (let it droop enough so I can see whats going on and get my hands in there to repair it) all I need to do is unbolt the shocks, or is there something else? Its my first solid axle car and I haven't found a concrete answer with searching

I'm also trying to find a picture(s) of how things are supposed to look up there in case I have to buy a new abs sensor or do more monkeying around, but no success so far

I think the springs too but I can't remember.
