Hi,

Just wondering if anyone could give me a basic idea of what is wrong with my car before I take it to the brake specialist or auto electrician... so they dont talk a whole heap of sh*t to me..

Recently, after of turn my car off, my ABS Module continues to buzz and eventually, overnight, will use all of the charge in my battery.

I have since disconnected the power to the ABS module and the car can start even after 4 days of not being turned on. (I do reconnect the power to the ABS module when I'm driving).

Prior to this my ABS light was coming on after turning the car on but will intermittently go away for a few trips then reappear.

LASTLY i think my ABS Module has sh*t itself.

So if anyone could shed some light, It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Regards

Steve

Hi Guys,

I checked my ABS unit and noticed a little black box... so is that what you were talking about Locky? I have taken the cover off and there are two white fuses (looks more two white blocks). When you shake it, there is something rattling inside the fuse that the power cable connects to so I think that that is the reason.. can you get these fuses replaced as it seems like they are glued on very very well...

Stephen, if i find out that my cylinders are OK and that I need something from your abs unit, i'll buy it off you..

Cheers guys.

Hi Guys,

After taking off the cover on the little black box, the unit doesnt buzz anymore when the power is connected, thus somehow by taking off the cover and putting it back on, the buzzing is now gone when the ignition is off.

Lastly, my ABS light is still on (was on prior to the buzzing) and I noticed that it will only stay on if i start the car with the handbrake on. If I turn the car on with the handbrake down, then their is no ABS light. So it looks like it could be a wiring or sensor issue? Anyone know where I could start looking?? thanks

Hi Guys,

Just thought i'd let you know the cause of my ABS problems...

after all tests by mechanics/autoelectricians (who couldnt tell me jack sh*t even after i told them that it could be a relay) and took my money anyway, i did what Locky said and replaced a faulty relay (the coil had broken). ABS light and problem went away and now ABS is working like a charm...

So thanks heaps LOCKY!!! and check the relay first..

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
