Default Interesting ABS fact

My ABS is still freaking out. I'm assuming that the broken wire that they fixed became unfixed. Havn't had time to bring it back in yet. Yesterday I got sick of the warning beep and pulled the fuses for the ABS pump and valve.

If you do that, the speedo and odometer don't work - neat. So I popped them back in and will put up with the beeping until I can get it looked at.

Not just the people with leased trucks! It would have to be checked out but it does stop the milage from regeristing, then those who drive a lot but want their 3/36 to last the whole 36k miles as well. I suspect though that just because the speedo and odometer aren't working inside, the computer is still clocking away. Jeff.

I don't think it would be a good idea. Most vehicles will store a code when the odometer has been tampered with. I suspect that if you drove it that way long enough that something would show.

I only had it that way for about 5 miles

Hope no one is suggesting this be done to falsely represent the actual mileage on a vehicle for whatever reason. If so, America is indeed in trouble.
