first string of problems from the 3rd gen are here
well untill now ive been loven the 3rd gen, but im getting some crazey problems now
backtrack a lil, when i got, the 1st week my brake at batt light came on, so i figured the infamious altnator was bad, so i got one from the org and put it on , no changes. so i left it alone sence my alt tested good about 2 weeks ago i noticed my abs light would come on randomly, and the brake fulid was low, so i top it off and notice the abs module is leaking some fluid, so im firguring its bad, and leve it alone, as time went on, more and more fluid leaked out and my abs lights flashed, so i took the abs fuses out just to disable the unit and mabey help it then on monday of this week, i crank my car in the morning and it was fine, untill i get down the road and everytime i hit the brake my radio would cut off, im like wtf, so i pull over and cut the car off, and it woont crank back, i get jumped and go to school, after school it cranks fine and i go on home at home i put the voltmeter on it and see its on 11.8 while running, so i immedtly thihnk the alt is unplugged, its not idk wtf happend to it so i switch battries with one thats fully charges, and its fine, untill that night i notice my lights are dim a hell and soon as i turn on my road the car cuts off and wont crank. i switch battries agian, cuz i had it on charge, and go to advance test it, my alt is doing nothing, im going to switch them soon and test it out of the car, is it possible brake fluid from the abs unit got on the alt and ruined it?? wtf do i do about the abs unit i know its very expensive. is it possible to delet abs????????? do altnators go out like that?? |

AFAIK the ABS module is hanging out in front of the washer fluid tank. if the fluid is leaking on that inner fender area then i highly recommend you wash that brake fluid (aka paint stripper) off the car ASAP. |
ok , so i need to hunt for a abs unit
clean the brake fluid test my extra alt and change it out, then test the one thats on there |
"you chose.......wisely"
