Been one of those days

elty001 · 30-08-2014, 20:06

Not used the truck for a couple of days as I have been doing a few bits and bobs to it.
Moved number plate to back door and wired back up my gay led lights on the front.
Jumped in truck to go and fetch the mrs and it wouldn't start

Popped the bonnet to find I have got a fuel leak from the plastic water trap on the bottom of the filter.
Took it to bits and couldn't see anything missing or broke so swapped the o rings and put it back together.
Started to bleed the fuel system and still pouring out the bottom

Stripped it down again and stuck the finger from a nitrile glove on the end and tightened it back up.bled it up and no leak

Fired her up and let it tick over for 10 mins to clear any air left in the system.
Jumps in again to fetch the mrs and just as I was reversing off the drive the abs light decides to come on and stay on

Pulled the fuse as I have had a bad experience with faulty abs but the annoying buzzer won't shut up now

Disconnected battery to see if it will reset its self

Fuel/water into the near side ABS connector block comes to mind, Rick

elty001 · 30-08-2014, 22:37

Will have a look at that

Makes sense as the leak was right above the connector.
Thanks rick.

Yeah we still on for tomorrow.
Have disconnected the abs plug and sprayed it with some connector cleaner stuff.
Will plug it back in tomorrow and see what happens
