Re: 1996 GLT ABS frustration

After spending another few hours messing with it, I am convinced that something is broken off of the connector. Is there a way to compensate, or replace it? I'm guessing a JY.

Done properly it should feel like a very solid connection. Is it possible that the ears have broken off o...

Re: ABS frustration

It was strange. I unclipped the cover and it just kind of pulled off without any effort. I tried putting a lot of pressure on it, but it doesn't want to seem to stay there. I doubt that I have two bad ABS units, especially considering that one is new from FCPG. I'm hoping someone had a similar situa...

1996 GLT ABS frustration

1996 850 GLT I was getting all signs of a bad ABS unit... intermittent ABS light and I could hear the ABS turning on and off randomly when driving. I finally got a failed odo and speedo, so I ordered a brand new ABS unit from FCP. I installed it, and still no speedo, odo, and I have an ABS light. I ...

Re: Abs rebuilders

I also recommend trying it yourself. I repaired mine last week with just a soldering iron and some small gauge solder. It's usually only one point that goes bad.

Re: My Volvo story

I haven't checked to see if I need that or not, I'm actually looking for the 2 pieces of grille behind the tow hooks and the larger piece between those.

My Volvo story

This is my first post here so I figured I'd share my story along with a few questions I have. A few years ago I sold my '74 Monte Carlo because of it's less than friendly fuel economy (go figure) and the high price of the gas that my car was gulping. I went to a local dealer to buy a car to drive ar...
