anyone possibly know?

well before i took my engine out i was having a problem that might be affecting my brakes now. what was happening was i would drive and this would only happen at random times, i would brake and all the int lights would turn off. it would be kind of like turning the key back and then my ABS light would come on. now that i have my engine in my ABS light as been on. ive cleaned the sensors, checked the fuse, does the ABS light come on when you need to bleed your brakes?? and does the engine harness have anything to do with ABS?

The ABS brain/system interfaces with the Alt. the warning/clock, Ignition (through the sunroof fuse), and the battery at the BTN fuse (underhood).

Other than that, and the brake light switch all the connections are too the sensors or the pump.

The Alt and warning light connections do go through the front harness which plugs into the engine harness in spots.

Did you swap the alt?

And the title of the thread has been edited to better reflect the question

Kinda the wrong way to do it but I have an ABS computer here that I don't need. If you want it you can buy it off of me for a reasonable price.

Clean & re-secure you accessory ground. The one from the bellhousing to the firewall.

Hmmm, is this metal thing stock or aftermarket?

You might have to bring it by for me to check out

he was asking if he could have fried the ABS brain because he didn't seal the holes he ran wires through and the floor area was wet on the passengers side.

Did you not read the thread?
