#26 of 39 turn signal switch/ multi function by rickd00 Jan 20, 2008 (1:12 pm)
hey i found out something that everyone might find helpfull... my turn signal switch was triggering the flasher relay all the time so it sounded like my turn signals were on even when they were'nt. after some research i took out my multi funtion switch there is a little plate mounted on it with 4 torx srews holding it on.. once you take that off you will see all the contacts in the for the switch... all you have to do is take some dielectric grease and get it on all the contacts you can ... it wont hurt to put extra grease on there... put it all back together and put it back on... it might take a day or 2 for the grease to work all through the switch. cant say it will work for everone but it worked for me and a few people i know. it saves a ton of money if you dont mind taking the time to put grease in it.

Replying to: rickd00 (Jan 20, 2008 1:12 pm) I have a 98 jimmy in which the ABS light turned on and has stayed on as of a few days ago, with no apparent difficulty braking...does your post mean that the turn signal noise that occurs randomly and at different speeds regardless of whether i'm turning (began about 6 months ago, too cheap to have fixed) could be related to the abs light being on and may actually be something simple and electrical to fix (rather than a new set of brakes)?
#28 of 39 ABS is on all the time, kicks in even at low speeds by ron_susi Apr 17, 2008 (6:47 pm)
2001 GMC Jimmy 4x4 - ABS comes on all the time, even at very low speeds. What could be causing this? Have taken wheels off and pads have lots of life. Noticed however than wheel doesn't spin really freely, does spin but with some friction. I don't know if this has anything to do with it. By the way, the ABS light is not on. It has come on for a few minutes in the past but then turned off again. I pretty sure the wheel bearing needs replacing on the front passenger side....could that have something to do with it?
#29 of 39 abs brakes by rbonham44 Apr 27, 2008 (6:31 pm)
i have a 2000 gmc jimmyand when i push on my brake pedal at speeds under 15 mph it wants to push back and at times it seems i have to really put some pressure on it to stop all the way. if the abs light comes on i have no problem at all stopping. kinda stumped. i heard i can take the fuse out and it wouldnt do that anymore. if so will it effect my brakes in anyway. thank you for your time.

Replying to: rbonham44 (Apr 27, 2008 6:31 pm) I am having the same problem and so far what I've been able to find out is that's it's probably a faulty speed sensor. Also been told it could be a bad wire connection at the wheel or a wheel bearing. For now I went ahead and pulled the fuse (it's under the hood) and that stopped the ABS from kicking in....it DOES NOT affect the braking .... the only thing you'll notice is that your ABS and parking brake warning lights on the consol come on. hope that helps in the mean time. Please post if you find the real solution...thanks Susi
#31 of 39 ABS Brakes by crazyramb0 Jun 07, 2008 (10:08 am)
I have a 96 Blazer 4x4, everytime i push down on the brake pedal, i have to apply a ridiculous amount of pressure and they still won't work until 3 seconds goes by. Replies to this message: tidester (Jun 08, 2008 8:00 am)

#33 of 39 ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT by mcg24 Jul 01, 2008 (5:45 am)
I HAVE A 2001 GMC JIMMY 4X4 THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AT ALL THE VEHICLE STOPS LIKE NORMAL. I CHECKED THE FLUID IT FULL. I'M THINKING IT MAY BE A ABS SENSOR GOING OUT OR I KNOW IN SOME VEHICLE THESE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE SPEED SENSOR GOES OUT. CAN THIS BE CHECKED WITH THE LIGHTS NOT BEING ON ALL THE TIME. Replies to this message: lveltkamp (Dec 17, 2008 9:15 am) salvadorjimmy (Oct 07, 2009 6:52 pm)

Replying to: rickd00 (Jan 20, 2008 1:12 pm) I have a 1998 Jimmy and the Flasher is Constantly Sounding. With your Problem did it Stop Sounding when you put on the Brakes? Turn Signals and Hazards Work Fine, Noise Driving me Nuts.

Replying to: mcg24 (Jul 01, 2008 5:45 am) I have a 2001 Jimmy 4x4 also... The ABS light went on and off when ever it wanted to...be very careful when the light is on my brakes just lock up when pushed really hard. The ABS part did not work when the light was on. I crashed the Jimmy two weeks ago. I hit ice and when I tried to use the brakes they just locked up they did not pulse and make that funny noise they make when the abs kicks in.
