[ABS] on after a big snow!!!!!!!! 1996 Accord EX MT

 

Start engine -> [ABS] on 3 seconds -> [ABS] off -> a minute or so -> [ABS] on & a click from glovebox

 

Check ABS reservoir -> EMPTY.

 

Fill up the reservoir with brake fluid --> start engine again for a minute --> check reservoir --> EMPTY again --> check ground --> a river of brake fluid on the street!!!

 

The ABS modulator unit is $1400 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no money. Am I hopeless? :(

I just been through this with the same car and same year. Your options are:

 

- live with it and pull the abs fuse

- try to do it yourself with no warranty and the possibility of damaging the abs unit during install. This will cost almost a grand.

- pay a shop to do it. Get out the checkbook. This will cost 1400 and up.

 

I paid for it but I live in Maryland and there is about 4 inches of fresh snow on the ground right now. If I still lived in Vegas I don't know what I would do.
