#12 of 31 Re: Pads or Rotor? [jipster] by imidazol97 May 25, 2006 (8:20 am)
Replying to: jipster (May 25, 2006 8:02 am) My opinion is that turning the rotors will be a temporary fix. Cutting them makes them thinner and have less metal so they will heat and warp easier the next time especially if they get splashed while they're hot (puddles, car wash).   I recommend getting a good quality Raybestos rotor-top line, not the cheap line and putting on remanufactured calipers for the next time you fix it. It may be the calipers are not sliding on the bolts like they should. So they drag and heat up the rotors. Replies to this message: jipster (Apr 12, 2008 5:41 am)
#13 of 31 ABS Brake Light by jdpina Jun 12, 2006 (7:33 pm)
what are some of the causes that would make my abs light come on. I have replaced front and rear disc brakes. The abs light would come on and stay on till I turn off car. Then on my next trip it would stay off.The light turn on every once in a while. I have a 1996 Buick regal custom Replies to this message: tsu670 (Jun 14, 2006 11:00 am)

Replying to: jdpina (Jun 12, 2006 7:33 pm) Perhaps a faulty ABS sensor on one of the wheels. Best bet is to get the codes scanned by someone with a scan tool. That should narrow it down.

#18 of 31 Buick Regal ABS Light by mjm402001 Sep 29, 2007 (5:35 pm)
I have a 1995 Regal and the ABS light stays on. It started out just coming on sometimes. Now it stays on all the time. I have replaced all the pads on all four wheels. I did not see any sensors on the rotors. I flushed out the lines and put in new brake fluid and bled the lines. I did find two sensors on the master cylinder. How do you check the sensors? Does anyone know what is the most common problem with this brake system to cause the light to stay on? Replies to this message: jrf7243 (Oct 26, 2007 5:36 pm)

Replying to: mjm402001 (Sep 29, 2007 5:35 pm) I have been plagued by various sensors on my 95' Buick Regal for approximately 2 years now: camshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor, throttle position sensor, low coolant sensor and now I assume that this light from my dash is from a faulty abs sensor. My suggestion would be to either place a card or piece of tape on the dash to cover this annoying light or get rid of this planned obsolescence and buy a jap car.
#20 of 31 abs issues by dmalle02 Nov 26, 2007 (12:03 am)
hi, i recently purchased a 1991 buick regal ltd 3.8L. this is my first car and it only has 141,000kms on it, everything is in excellent condition the only thing that isnt is there is a very strange noise that is coming fom the dash area that i believe has something to do with the abs as the abs light is on aswel. the noise sounds almost like a motor it a loud kind of buzz or turning noise that comes on when i press on the breaks or sometimes when im not even pressing on the breaks. im really hopeing i did not waste my money on it as it is my first car and i am very happy with it other then that. the breaks still work but the noise is there and also a second issue is the break peddal will not stay up i am currently having to use a spritn top hold it up so the break lights dont stay on. if someone could give me some ideas as to wha this may be caused byu that would eb greatly appreciated. also if i jsut disable the abs completly will the breaks still operate correctly. thanks for your time on reading this and i hope someone can anwser my questions:)
#21 of 31 Re: 00 & 02 Rear brakes [jpstax1] by strids97 Dec 27, 2007 (8:20 am)
Replying to: jpstax1 (May 16, 2006 9:35 am) I have an 04 Regal, I have over 63K miles on it, and haven't touched the rear brakes or rotors once since i bought the car. The car was used, had 13K miles on it when I bought it, but it's been perfectly fine. I do use the Emergancy brake though quite a bit when parking on slight inclines and declines in parking lots that I have been to, maybe that is the reason, but I just looked at my rear pads on my car the other day and they still have 65% of the pads left and the rotors look great.   I have to change the rotors on the front brakes but the backs are still perfect. I would suggest using the parking brake more to help with the rear rotors and brakes.
