AB-Sorted

Well the last time I wrote a blog the ABS light was flashing up before the engine was even turned over.
Yesterday, I took the connector back apart to see if a spray of WD40 and pushing the connector back together again would help.

Work station set back up - Was short lived.
Car-side abs connector plug. (Sensor connector plug in background).
Car-side abs connector plug, a Citroen part!
Are there any Peugeot parts on the car I wonder?
The ABS connector plug.
The end result of today's putting her back together for diagnostics tomorrow:
What I did to get here:
Not an awful lot is the answer to that.
I took apart the connection box, sprayed some WD40 in both ends of the plug, put it back together.
ABS FAULT still flashed up, again, again and again.
I then disconnected two 15amp fuses in the engine bay fuse box (supposedly they control the ABS) however, neither affected the light on the dash lol. There has been talk of a 'second engine bay fuse box' IF there is one I can't find it.
I won't lie, yesterday I was in a foul mood, I was NOT a force to be reckoned with. I was weighing up my options and considering scrapping her. Anyone who saw my comment on yesterdays status will notice that I used to drive 405 estates.
I made this comment ''GOD damn I should of been driving that 405 estate and NOT pondering the thought at ever owning a 406 estate but instead of been thinking bet they can't make the 406 as nice as this'' 

I need to clear that ''service light'' which basically is the spanner symbol telling me a service is over-due on the car (HAS it not seen the work I've been doing????!!!!) LOL

I am keeping my fingers and toes tightly crossed that this ABS fault is sorted and has been put to bed once and for all.
I have rolled her back and for the drive for the sensor to sense the wheel moving and perhaps to flag the fault back up but - so far - so good.



Plan of action:
* Clean the car, inside and out. Remove tools from the boot.
* Run through a few more MOT checks
* MOT on Monday afternoon

Wish us luck!
