Go to Advance Auto Parts, or your favorite parts store, and buy a GP Sorensen relay, part number MR120. That is the ABS relay, i paid 17 dollars and some change for it.
The reason i say buy it, is because last night, i was on the way to my friends house, went to stop at a light behind a bus, and my brake pedal went rock solid. I had to downshift and STAND on the brake pedal to not run into the back of this bus.
Every 87-88 TC owner should keep this relay handy, im going to buy a spare one shortly.
close call shawn....glad nothing bad happned and your alright. we appreciate the heads up dude....
glad your ok but will it fix my brakes?
Sorenson MR14 works too. Actually, thanks for reminding me, I need to buy a backup too.
I just need to get my brakes to work. I have a new ford relay and still nothing
I thought your pump was bad? Did you replace it?
havent come across one yet. the weird thing is the pump will run if I ground the relay and the relay is new
Have you checked out the FAQ Here (http://"www.turbotbird.com")? It's helped me with a lot.
I keep spare EEC, ABS, and F/P relays in the car...
Two years ago my ABS relay stuck just as I got ready to leave for the race track... Pulled my tennis shoe off and smacked it a good one, it's still working...
If mine acts up, can I borrow your shoe?
Nyuk, nyuk,nyuk
well if you can ground it and all then its not your relay thats bad its somewhere down the line. or possibly the ground on the relay is bad. doble check all grounds.
Generally, if thats the case, its a bad pressure switch.
