As I have said before the ABS light is on permanently in the 25G.Also the hand brake has been disconnected because it would not release.Ithas been this way for a couple of months.

Today after about 2k of driving, after stopping and turning key off, heard a strange buzzing coming from under the hood. On looking the buzz was found to be coming from the ABS unit. Turned the key to the on position and it stopped. Turned off and still stopped but then came on again. Its at it all the time even with engine running. It stops if I pull the outer 30 amp in the box under the hood. Have checked the in car fuse and it's OK. System has Castrol DOT4 fluid.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

I think the only way we are going to debug this is if I come past and plug the diagun into the car. is it visually throwing codes at all?

No the only thing I know is the ABS light has been on for yonks, before I did the upgrade. The buzzing arrived uninvited.Since pulling the fuses, front brakes can be locked. Pardon my ignorance but are there sensors on the rears of a RWD, or 4WD for that matter.

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…

      Not sure why but RBF660/700 or Castrol SRF is listed as DOT4, not 5.1.

      Interesting....can't say I've ever checked it, have always just changed it in the off season as practice

      Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years.

      Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it
