Door Ajar........not

[tpraceman]

First,
Lets get one thing straight.
A door is a door and not a Jar.:rofl

Next,
I did not belive everyone but it was the trunk on mine. Thankfully they are close tolerence switches because when you have a machine that travels at Mach 1 speeds who wants a Jar opening up:eek

Oh and congrads on the fastest color choice

Abs module?

OK you all solved this problem so quick! The ABS and Brake light come on after 3-5 minutes on the X1. Dealer did not have a solution. :frown Drove LV to seattle with them on. Any input ? Thanks in advance Jim

jUST TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THIS TIME THEY DIAGANOSED a failed ABS module for $1200. Should be under warranty but dealer says no. Is this a safety issue? Anyone have a similar issue?:frown

Thanks
Jim

Are you running the oem brake package or the Willwood package on your X1?

"Isn't this a safety issue?

Yes it can be. It is important to remember to pump your brakes when coming to a stop especially during emergency stops. The ABS system simply does this pumping action for you. Much like power brakes help you push harder than you can normally, ABS helps you pump more effectively than you can normally. This can be a real factor during panic stops or during rain storms. Many people still safely drive cars without ABS Brakes every day."



Under normal driving & braking you'd pbly never know the ABS was out of commission. It'd only be under panic stop conditions where HAVING the ABS system working would ensure safer, straighter, and actually SHORTER stops.

'Wifey drove her Eldo for about a MONTH with the ABS warning light blazing away before she told me about it being on!!!:bored

+1. Particularly with the suboptimal tires on the car and speeds that this car can travel, having ABS as a nannie-of-last-resort (in fact, on the FGT it's the nannie-of-only-resort) is a must have. I was watching a video of a 5th Gear review of a 993 GT1 (I think I've got that right) racer and even it had ABS.

EP used to practice pumping his brakes while ensconced in his garage - just to see how fast he could do it. Just in case the car 'escaped'...

Do a search, plenty of information can be found. Short answer have them replaced with either the upgraded ford bolts or accufab replacements.
