Last night (um....Friday the 25th), it just turned cold .. say around 40-50 F
here.
Anywho, i just finished watching a movie with some friends, and turned on my
car, the ABS light is on.... Its gone on before but just turned off when the
car warmed up. I drove to a friend's house about 10 mi away and went in. Came
out 4-5 hours later, i can hear the ABS controller/pump thing running.
(Passenger side, right by the headlight). Uh oh...
Turn on the car, pop the hood, and look, the controller is STILL running, and
the ABS light is STILL on. Turn the car off,  the ABS is STILL running. Is it
clogged? Any idea what the problem is? (George..... i think THIS is the
little shit thats causing my 20mpg maybe?.... making me run my brakes?) The
ABS light and controller is always on when car is running, a nd
contrtoller/pump is running when the car is off. Tonight im leaving my car
"unplugged"... meaning took out the battery. Gonna reset the ECU and see if
that works.....Could the ABS pump be clogged maybe? Or is it just running
like crazy to make my milage REALLY bad? ..

P.S. Need to fix this quick...... date tommorrow. Is it possible (or even
safe? ... i can pump brakes if the ABS is just bad.....) to drive around town
? Or will driving cause my car to go bonkers?

...... Geo expect a phone call in the morning ;)
