more progress I think
Folks,
Well being stupid makes fixing things harder, but sometimes I get lucky. My ABS light has now consistenly come on nearly ever trip. I thought I had found the wires from the wheels and going to into the engine compartment. I tried to measure resistance, but got unclear readings on them. I decided to search for some used parts and ordered a pair of front sensors and an OVP relay. The mail order junk yard took a couple of weeks to get the parts here. I tossed the box on my workbench not really looking at it. Tonight I had some time and opened the box. I looked at the connectors from the sensors to the in-car wiring and was disappointed. I thought mine were flat rectangular connectors, the ones I received were round, coax shaped. After a little looking on the car I had identified the wrong wires going through the wheel wells. The junk yard had sent the correct parts. I'm glad someone has a brain. So I checked the new sensors. If I remember correctly, they were about 1300 ohms. I went to check the ones on the car. The driver side was about the same at 1300 ohms. This connector is located along side of the fuse box. I went to passenger side, and as I pulled the connector out of the holder ( immediately in front of the washer fluid tank), the insulation and the connector just fell apart. The resistance measured way off. I replaced that side and all appears well so far. I just got back from a 20 mile drive and no light. Again, I let everyone know in a couple of days if it stays fixed.

I repaired my system, and forgot to take pictures or write up a DIY while it was fresh in my mind. |

somethig else to set the light off... mismatched tire sizes... I had snow tires on the rear of my 124 this past season- they were slightly larger then my fronts and everytime I got above 55mph, the light came on.
Also to check the codes on these cars, you'll need whats called a pulse counter. It will give you a number, 0 or 1 through 8 and you match that up to the manual for the description of whats wrong.

Update, I am now 99% sure my front "end problem" and ABS light are related. One of my front senors is bad, as soon as it warms up a bit I will figure out which one and replace it.

I don't think it is a front end problem, the front end is perfect. I think one of these sensors is acting up:
N6030-31948 ABS Speed Sensor Bosch IN STOCK $130 I just need to figure out which one it is because for $130 each plus a few other things I will not play a guessing game. My ABS is kicking on at low speeds, their was a good thread in the tech forum about this.
