Hey all I was wondering if anyone knows why or what would cause the 60A underhood abs fuse to blow? Now I have relocated my abs unit over to where the battery use to be to get more room for turbo and get the abs outta the oven over there. Also I had to extend all the wires going to it about 5 feet with soldered and heat shrinked connections. Its been this way for a while now so I doubt relocating it had anything to do with it.

Last time I was out driving in the rain I hit the brakes and the abs comes on (cause the rear tires were going faster than the fronts for some reason ) followed by the abs idiot light. After that it stopped working and the tires would just lock for some reason. After I got to where I was going I popped the hood and all over the front driver side of the engine bay was covered in something. I dunno if it was brake fluid or what cause I wasnt low on brake fluid or anything that I could tell. Anyway I came to find out that the main under hood 60A abs fuse is blown.

Why? Or just replace it and keep on going?

Do you really need the ABS?
After 16 years it may not be worth the trouble to fix.
That's a lot of old school ABS technology weight to lug around.

I would much rather have the abs than none at all. The abs works fine i was just wondering why the fuse blew.

maybe a shorted ABS sensor on one of the hubs? I'm just taking a wild guess here.
