#1023 of 1889 ABS warning light is on, what does this mean? by dlabarge Aug 20, 2005 (7:28 pm)
Hi, I have a 96 AWD safari. My ABS light has been on for almost two weeks. Luckily, my safari isn't my daily driver in the summer, so I've only driven it 3 or 4 times with the light on. I've done some simple tests, one being just too push hard on the brake while in park and see what I hear. It sounds and feels like the ABS is working...I can hear the brrrrr and feel it in the pedal, but they are definately not working. On my way home tonight I avoided a couple of deer on a rainy road and when I stomped on the brake, the front left tire locked up and the van swerved hard to the right. I felt like I was about to roll the van. Wheeew. I'm glad I'm here to type this message.   What are the possibilities here? Is there a computer that controls the brakes? Could it be a fuse? I read in an earlier post something about the ABS pump? Any help is always appreciated! Thanks

On my 97 the door panel mounting locations have slots that slip down over the pop out mounting plugs. The plugs are the one time use type, if you pull or pry them out. I think it is neat that GM slotted the door panel mountings so that the plugs did not all require replacement. But, it is best to have two people to hold in on the panel during replacement in order to engage the panel with the plugs.   Now engagement is difficult, that is why I say buy some new plugs and you can mount them in the door panel and push them in just like most door panels mount.   Sometimes the plugs are not completely destroyed when pulled out and possibly may be re used.

Replying to: bscabl (Aug 30, 2005 6:08 am) These seats can only be folded forward to make room for luggage etc., but cannot be folded back to make it a bed per se. To fold forward, you have to pull a latch at the back of the seat near the right hinge. Replies to this message: bscabl (Aug 30, 2005 2:06 pm) tkw (Aug 31, 2005 2:14 pm) bscabl (Sep 02, 2005 7:26 am)

Replying to: tkw (Aug 30, 2005 10:32 am) the seat in my awd has only 1 lever in the back.. the lever slides the seat forward or back on a trac, it has 2 levers in the front, 1, [on the left, if sitting] slides the seat on the same trac, the right, does something else.. [folds the seat back ?] i should have mentioned, mines a custom ['sherrod'] model.. limited edition, so there are differences in the interior/exterior from the standard production astro's Replies to this message: tkw (Aug 31, 2005 2:14 pm) bscabl (Sep 02, 2005 7:26 am)
