My car was off the road for 3 months with a blown head gasket and iv finally got it back together and going again but now my ABS and 4WD light on the dash is constantly on

Iv found that the 4WD relay under the bonnet isnt getting its +12v switch so i ran a wire from the battery to the power out pin where the relay plugs in and the abs unit seemed to spring to life and the ATTESA ecu finally started showing me some error codes (21,61,62). i Started the car and the abs light come on after a few seconds then a few seconds after that the 4wd light come on again.

So obviously im not getting any power to the ATTESA ecu or ABS unit all because im not getting this IGN +12v switch to the relay, Also the the +12v that feeds the relay is only getting 11.5v when the battery is showing 12.7v

While the car was sitting i accidently left an interior light on completely draining the battery so i replaced it with a blue top optima

Im out of ideas as iv tripple checked every fuse and cant find a dud ? a wiring diagram would be really handy

I have an RWD 25G, N/A. Have had ABS light on for yonks and want to fix it. But how. Had to pull the ABS fuse to stop the lil" bugger buzzing all the time.

At about the same time the hand(FOOT) brake mechanism stopped disengaging when using the hand lever under the dash. So that is disengaged too.

The brakes still work fine, just sometimes might need an extra pump. Single pot fronts replaced with twin pots. But the ABS was playing up before the brake upgrade.

Would really like to fix the ABS system.

Update,

I realised when i checked the g sensor under the console for power i left it unplugged so after plugging that back in and bridging out the relay again i only get error code 32 (E-TS solenoid and circuit), After going over the wiring diagram it shows the relay should get its earth from the attesa ecu but its not so im starting to lean towards the attesa ecu has give up.

If you look at this wiring diagram it shows pins 2 and 5 on the ETS actuator relay as having ign +12v but with the attesa ecu plugged in these pins are earthed out with it unplugged the pins have power as they should (i assume this relay is the 4WD relay in the fuse box under the bonnet?)

Any input would be great!

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
