88 TC Brake Help!!! Reply #15 – October 10, 2005, 08:29:21 PM is this what you guys did?QuoteFind the relay with the T/Y, GY, GY/R, GY/Y, PK/LB wires. Remove the relay from its socket, and jumper the T/Y and GY/R terminals together with a heavy gauge jumper wire. Turn the key to run. You should be able to hear the hyd. pump running in the ABS unit. If you hear it run, but don't let it run for more than 10 seconds or so. If you hear it run, turn the key off and put the relay back in its socket. Now, turn the key on, and depress the brake pedal several times and see if the pump runs.If it doesn't run, probe the PK/LB wire (stick pin thru wire, etc), and, with key on, ground this wire. Pump should run. If it does, the relay is good, if it doesn't run, but ran when the T/Y and GY/R wires were jumpered, then the relay is bad.i certainly hope i am not still screwed. >.<** Quote Selected
88 TC Brake Help!!! Reply #16 – October 10, 2005, 09:19:02 PM Yep, that's what I did.Honestly, converting to vacuum brakes is not that hard...it's just tough to track down everything you need. Plus I seem to be having problems with brake fluid getting out from under the lid on my MC (I got one of the old-style mc's because I'm poor) Quote Selected
88 TC Brake Help!!! Reply #17 – October 10, 2005, 10:17:49 PM mine runs whenI ground the PK/LB wire after I replaced the relay so whats the deal? I really hope I dont have to trace all of the wiring. I havent tried jumping the other wires I'll try it when I get a chance Quote Selected
88 TC Brake Help!!! Reply #18 – October 11, 2005, 05:40:10 PM Mine doesn't run with the PK/LB grounded. So hopefully I lucked out. :) 88turbo: did you check the pressure switch?QuotePull the connector off the pressure switch (5 pins). Put the relay back in its socket. Jumper pink/light blue wire to the gray wire in the connector with the key on. If the pump runs, the pressure switch is bad. [/SIZE][/FONT] Quote Selected

Master Reply #22 – October 12, 2005, 02:17:25 AM I have everything from the pump to the master and other stuff that I took off my car a couple of months ago that I would sell for $70. Worked then but I switched to manual brakes.I posted it once before here http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=4057&highlight=Turbo+Coupe+brakesTED Quote Selected

88 TC Brake Help!!! Reply #26 – October 14, 2005, 09:49:26 AM Ted, if neither of them want the stuff I'll take it. I'm planning on using the original ABS as long as I can(and I just installed my spare on the TC thundergrowl bought). Quote Selected
88 TC Brake Help!!! Reply #27 – October 15, 2005, 02:04:59 PM Just for the record, I replaced the relay with Part Sorenson MR14 and the brakes work now. :) Happy I is. Quote Selected
