its pretty quiet,I had a few new members join over the summer but they never seem to show up here.
how was your trip willey?

 

glenn from upper stewiacke. 2004 f-150 4x4,1978 f-250 4x4.

 

The trip was great Fred, no problems until Fredericton NB, then the eBrake and ABS lights came on. Whatever triggered the eBrake warning caused the logics to shut down the ABS. I can't find what the cause is. As far as I know the light is activated by the park brake or the float in the master cylinder reservoir. All that seems OK at least it checks out. Damm rain sure puts a hold on working on it. The logic circuit that turns on the brake light shows a short to ground key on or off if I remember right. Any ideas?
We put 8000 miles on the odometer. Had a look at the Rockies, the old Triton climbed the grades in overdrive like we were on a level road, not a problem until coming down, when we got to the bottom you could smell the brakes (guess things got kind of hot and stinky)

Got home to a notice that the town could sell my property for unpaid taxes. HUH! my taxes are paid on time every year since 1976. I seems the Town put in water and sewer lines (we didn't need or want) and forgot to bill us for them. Oh! well it'll all come out in the wash.

thats good you had a good trip with no major troubles,did you get your brake problem figured out,if not I'd be happy to have a look at it.aren't the local towns great,have you been through new glasgow lately to see the festering mess they made of down town.thats going to cause major caos.

 

Aah! I avoid NG down town like the plague, I don't go there unless I actually have to. We just finished getting another of Flunky's boondoggles straightened out on our street. I have no idea of where he gets his brilliant ideas. It's probably to save the costs of the traffic lights, so prepare for more traffic circles and 4 way stops. It's much more fficient according to Bob. I agree with your assessment of it, that's what I thought when I read it in the News. If I have to go to places on Archimedes or Provost I park in the big lot behind the Court house.
Fred I'd appreciate any help or ideas you might have as I'm now doing a project to bypass it all and still have it appear normal and uncovering some of Ford's better ideas that make absolutely no sense (extra parts not really needed).

Cheers
Willey

 

Have you tried asking about it in the other forums, like 97-03 truck, super duty and heavy duty, 1968 - present full size vans???

 

Yep! sure did, I checked out all the advice and so far no go. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...lights-on.html
I still have the lights

Wow, that's an interesting read. I wonder about the relay your hearing itself.....

I also wonder, as you look along the chassis of the vehicle, if there are any signs that the looms for exposed wiring harnesses have been compromised... Either by corrosion or other damage.

Last, I wonder about checking continuity between the various sensors and the ECU. Perhaps it's possible to get a wiring diagram to help you identify the leads entering the ECU.

None of this sounds fun. My newest vehicle came off the line two months before I did.

 

I drive through the metropolis of new glasgow every day to get to work,and I also wonder where some of these bright ideas come from.nothing rings a bell right of the top of my head with your brake light troubles,I would say jason is on the right path with checking the wires,I believe there is a set of plugs down inside the drivers kick panel.I would check there first,easy spot for water and such to get into and cause this kind of trouble.

 

"I believe there is a set of plugs down inside the drivers kick panel.I would check there first,easy spot for water and such to get into"
Well at least it's another place to check, although I don't believe there's anything much behind those panels, most of the wiring passes through the firewall just above the fuse panel. There's also one more place to check for corrosion between wires and that's on the main harness connector into the cab. (seems I had a problem like that on an old Dodge).
