ABS and Traction control light on dash help

[A1EK]

Interestingly it was below freezing today and the lights were off on my dash ! I have bought a new ABS sensor still though to change.

I replaced the ABS sensor, it was a pig of a job and took me 5 hours !

The sensor its self was well and trully stuck and corroded in place. I had to drill it out along with the bolt. I needed to remove the caliper and disk to get into the sensor properly to allow me to drill it which took me about 2.5 hours.
Then the worst part was trying to find the damn plug connector for the other end of the sensor in the car, I know it was behind the rear panle (my car is a cabriolet) however I just couldn't find it and in the end had to remove the rear seat and trim completely eventually finding it buried and cable tied at the back. The next challange was to feed the new cable through from the underside which involved removing a bottom panel then using a piece of metal wire to locate and pull through.

Once all done I then had to put the car all back together which if anyone has a cabriolet may know how tricky the rear panel can be !

End result is that the problem has been fixed, although I did strip a wheel bolt when I put the wheel back on !

We need to know more than that, I suggest you start your own thread Tab.

Sorry, meant to post that I have now fixed this.

It was the rear right abs sensor. I had to drill out the old one as it was corroded and tap a new thread for the new sensor. The hardest part was getting to the plug, I had to remove the whole back seat and side panel and eventually found it buried inside a wiring loom.
