Brake Problem
The brakes on my 3000GT SL pumps when I try to stop. The brake light is on, however I thin k it is another issue with just tightening up the e brake cable. The pumping is a concern. It appears if teh abs is active all the time when I try to stop. ANyone having this issue. I just replaced a frozen caliper the others are good and one rotor that was bad. I bled the system and still have the problem. Help!!!

check for a bad wheel speed sensor.

Re: Brake Problem
If I pull the fuse on the ABS, it stops the problem, but the light and the brake light stays on. Any way to disable the lights? I thought the light would be a problem with the ebrake. I tighted the cable and it still stays on. It has fluid in the reservoir. Is the ABS problem conected to the brake light? The speed sensors are all connected and look good. Any insight???

The ABS and the4 e-brake aren't related. I agree, pull the fuse. Hell, pull the computer. The ABS caused me to get into an accident a while back. Gert rid of it. As for the light. I don't think pulling the computer will do it. I think you have to remove the light, or at least the wires going to it.

Could Anything else besides low fluid make the brake light come on or is that brake light related to the ABS problem causing it to stay on. The fluid is topped off and I have bled the system and am pretty sure it is free of air.

check your wheel speed sensors, the light could be on bc u removed the abs, but i would still check the wheel speed sensors.
