ehhh.... can u give us more details on your install?
s13? s14? which SR?
my car has no ABS anymore, but it's cuz I have a JDM VLSD from a non ABS car, hence it has nowhere for the diff ABS sensor to go

edit: nm on the car portion, I couldn't see your sig as I typed, grrr.

I have an 89.. I didn't even know ABS was an option. wow.

ABS doesn't work on my car either. how do you make it work?

TheSparo · 10-07-2003, 02:30 PM

it was an option, so you might not have it, if you do you will have a odd looking thing w/ a series of lines on the pass side under the hood on the firewall

my best guess would be it having something to do with the ECU.
Keep in mind, that's a guess.
Mabye if your clip/motorset had an ECU from an ABS-equipped car, it'd still work? ... who knows.

memphiss13 · 10-09-2003, 09:04 PM

the ABS computer is separate though. i don't think that explains it.

adey · 10-10-2003, 12:12 AM

hmmm, maybe you accidentally snipped/pulled an ABS wire when installing the new ECU/engine/whatever? ... have you checked all the wires and brake lines?
How about all the sensors at all 4 wheels?
Checked your fuses lately?...

TheSparo · 10-10-2003, 08:58 PM

i think that maybe the motor wasnt equipped w/ it, b/c the abs plugs are the ones coming out of the strut tower right? kinda small? well they dont connect on the SR... anyway i could "modify" it?
