I have taken it off the motor and shorted the leads. My gauge jumps up to HOT. So its not the gauge. BUt what is the part not working here??

Also my abs light stay on, I just replaced the axls on each side. Everything is hooked up but its not engaging. whats up?

 

The one wire temperature sending unit under the distributor needs to be replaced.

 

Did you install ABS compatible axles?

 

Yes, I make sure of it. One day since then the abs almost worked. My light did not come on. And when i would make a normal stop I could here some clicking and the brake petal would move a bit. But that has not happen again. It started to work but, it wasn't right.

 

Pull the ABS code. It's probably a wheel sensor and the code will tell you which one. The sensor could have been damaged while changing the axle.

The ABS should not be doing anything during normal stops, only on stops so hard that the wheels would skid on a non-ABS car.

 

I do know that it did it before i changed the axles. The car sat for a few years. Im guessing its the sensor on the axle/wheel as well.
