Antilock brake problem
.....so I have spent about an hour or so each of the last 3 evenings on the search section looking for the particular brake issue that I am having, can find some similar, but none exactly the same, so here goes, hope someone can help. (I thought I had "struck gold" when I found the link for testing the sensors, but I did not know where to look for them on my car)
My 1985 380SL needed brakes, had a fellow (part-time mechanic, full-time farmer, too long a story to explain here) fix my brakes. New calipers all around, new rotors, new pads, new brake lines, new master cylinder. Brakes work fine now EXCEPT when the car is almost stopped (moving at ¼ to ½ mph) the antilocks kick in for the last 1-2 feet of forward motion. This is not a safety issue, as the car is stopping normally, but it is very irritating. The fellow that did the brakes said he knew that they did that, but that he didn’t know anything about the antilock system (another long story, don’t ask). The only thing that I can come up with is perhaps the antilock sensors have been damaged/misaligned/confused during the brake job. My problem is that I don’t know where they are, what they look like, or how to check them. Any ideas? The antilock light on the dash is NOT lit. Thanks.
