Brake system issues

silverado7 · 05-11-2008, 09:28 AM

I was out wheeling yesterday and got all the brake sys lights on (emerg brake, abs slip etc...). Mostly dry hills but there were a couple of mud holes. The mud was VERY thick clay and packed the driver side tires full. I drove to the car wash and them out before driving home. Lights are all still on? I'm going to pull the tires off and have a closer look. Just figured I'd ask here first for any suggestions.
Thanks

could be a lot of things... check the brake pad sensors to make sure they're clean (the ones that alarm when the pads get too thin)... Maybe they got pulled off or filthy to lose a signal.... My guess is that it might cause the brake system to think that that pad is too thin or something...

Other than that, clean them up really good and head to the dealership... say you went through a puddle on the way to work....

found the right rear electrical wire to the 'brake sensor' ripped off. probably from from this

didn't have time to see how long the wire is or where it went. Can i order the harness or a replacement plug?
thanks
