Hello all,
My 650 Dakar has developed a bit of a strange problem. The ABS warning lamp no longer lights when I first switch on (or when trying to de-activate the ABS). Before you ask I have checked the bulb (several times, and will check again tomorrow!). I know it worked a few days ago because I was refitting the front end wiring, forgot to reconnect the sensor and the ABS warning lamp lit up to tell me off.
The ABS itself seems to be working fine (rear tested on gravel drive) and my GS-911 says there are no faults reported by the ABS controller. I've traced the wiring back through it's convoluted path, can't find any faults or signal and have now reached the ABS unit itself.
Has anyone experienced this or something similar?
Failing that, has anyone taken the ABS unit apart at all? I notice there's a cover on the side with the electrical connector on - is it worth me taking the subframe and everything else off to get at this cover or is there nothing visible inside?
I apologise in advance if you see this question on several forums - I'm quite to keen to get an answer, especially if I can avoid replacing an otherwise functioning ABS unit (don't imagine they're cheap). I've tried searching all the forums I know and not found anything that sounds the same, if there is something somewhere then please point me in the right direction.
Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.
