TrailChaser Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 The ABS and Brake light just started coming on when I make a hard right turn, and they go off when I hit a bump or turn left. I checked the connection on the 3rd member and it looks good. Anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Brake fluid level? I had both on when I had air in the system. Try bleeding everything. Work from the back, to the front, including the proportioning valve in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work from the back, to the front, including the proportioning valve in the middle. I'll check that out. The brakes don't feel any different than they've always been. Is there any other connection or sensor for an ABS system on the 95 pathies that don't have ABS? (I'm pretty sure I don't have ABS, I've locked up the brakes a few times and they just lock up.)

TrailChaser Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Good call. It was low on brake fluid. I feel like a newby. Now comes the fun part. Finding the leak or changing brake pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Good stuff. Glad it was simple. Probably just need a brake job, hence the low fluid. Keep an eye on it though. Oh, and you have ABS. It's rear only. There was no 4 wheel ABS on WD21's. I've never felt mine kick in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkorahil Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 All WD21 have rear only ABS. It is designed to kick in when the Pathy is pulling a trailer and there is weight on the rear to stop teh truck from fish-tailing, so its probably programed at a very high rate to activate.

Eeh, only on so-equipped models. Some base models didn't have ABS at all. Mine doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
