Sounds like it's wired in series..

Where is the abs switch located on 1998 Dodge Durango been told that they why the abs light stays on?

where is the abs switch located on 1998 Dodge Durango been told that they why the abs light stays on, is it easy to get to and change yourself

there is no abs switch. the light could be on for a sensor problem, pump motor, any of the solenoids, or for a loss of brake pressure. there is a switch on the proportioning valve that senses pressure drop if you have a leak. make sure your fluid is full, and go get it scanned to see why the light is on.

It is a junction block in the frame above the rear axle, and unless you know how to bleed the brakes, you should take it to someone who does. This is the worst abs system out there.
the abs light is probably on because it has a bad wheel speed sensor. 90% of the time that is the cause. i would get it checked before you start throwing parts at it. auto zone will scan for free and you will have a better idea of what your looking for.
the light is on because of a bad sensor probably ,have the computer scanned on it to see if that's actually whats causing it,that will make the abs light stay on,good luck.lol

  • How to connect the dining room chandelier to a wall light switch?

    I live in a 1956 house and started renovating my dining room. I wanted to change the chandelier and found a problem: there is one light switch on the wall and it controls an electrical outlet, not the chandelier. The old chandelier had a on/off switch on it. The new chandelier doesn't have this switch. When I unscrewed the outlet on the wall that is controlled by the light switch, I found a black and white wire that are tied together and tucked in behind the receptacle. Is it possible that those wires control the chandelier? How should I connect them to be able to operate the ceiling light with the wall light switch?

    I suggest you call an Electrician. But, if you must do it yourself, please do some on-line research and obtain more information before you do this. Shut off power and be careful.

    First you need to find out where the wire to the light fixture is getting its power (by going in attic and tracing it) Then remove the black (light fixture power supply) lead where it is getting its power from and connect that(black) lead to the switch(either at the outlet or switch) If you splice it then make sure your splice is in a covered metal junction box,and you use wire nuts.If what I said is in anyway confusing then call an electrician (this winter since the attic will be stifling)

    Light doesn't want to turn on.?

    Recently the light in our laundry room has nor wanted to turn on. At first we assumed the bulb just died, but after replacing the bulb the problem wasn't fixed. After that we changed the light switch that too had no effect. Then we changed the light fixture thinking that was the problem. But, despite our hopes, still does not want to work. Before calling an electrician, i was wondering if anyone has ideas.
    Light doesn't want to turn on.?
    Depending on how the house was wired,matters which wire(black or white)is power or ground.Usually the power is sent directly to the light and the switch controls the ground.The bare wire or green wire grounds the switch,light or outlet to the main fuse box.

    With a volt-meter,take the light fixture out,set the meter to 400 ac,check the black wire for voltage with the red lead and connect the black lead to the round hole in a wall outlet to get your ground.If no voltage,try the white wire for voltage.If still no voltage,I think your light doesn't work on the same power circuit you think works with other things in the house.

    If you don't have access to a volt-meter,go to Home Depot or any hardware store and they have a small test light with two wires that usually handles up to 600 volts.Ask if they have some type of extentions you could add to reach the long distance between the light fixture and the wall outlet.

    well theres the fuse box fuse switch and the outlet and wall switch only thing left is wiring
    check the fuse man,,



    did you check all the fuse's are working;;

    Is there an inexpensive way change which wall outlet is turned on by the wall switch?

    I have a light switch that is connected to an electrical outlet on the west side of the room. The problem is that I need the light on the east side of the room. It would be unsightly and unsafe to run an extension cord across the room because it would cross a doorway. Any suggestions? Some sort of infrared switch or something conencted to the lamp perhaps? Is there such a thing?

    Hi, i ran into this similar problem at an older house which i did not want to destroy the walls, so check this site out http://www.prestostore.com/cgi-bin/pro17鈥?/a>

    Go to the room above the west side wall and turn off electricity. Lift the floorboards to gain access. Remove light fitting from west wall, then withdraw the cable into the floor space. Use a junction box and extend the light cable so it will reach the east wall and then complete the task by wiring the light in its new location at the end of its extended cable.
    You may be in luck if the light switch only controls either the top or the bottom outlet in the duplex outlet. Check it and if this is the case, shut the electricity to the outlet and reome the wires from the one that is controlled by the switch, then coneect it to the other recepticle's screws. Be sure to cap the ones that you diconnected.
    You don't say if this is a two story house or single and, if you have a basement. A basement, no problem. Run the wires under the rafters and up the wall with a mouse.

    If it's a single story, run the wires from the wall down, from the attic. Otherwise your going to have to run them across the floor and put a carpet over it, across the doorway.
    Are you talking about a motion sensor on the light? You would have it on all the time but it would only light when you entered the room.

    Trac Off Light?

    After having the error codes cleared from repairs on my 2000 venture, when trac off light came back on it showed bad back up light connection, was told the brake light switch was the problem. Do I need to go get that error cleared to get the trac off light to go off after changing the switch?
    Trac Off Light?
    Are you sure the sensor is not broken? My husband's car did the same thing.
    Trac Off Light?
    I have never heard of a back up light connection issue setting the trac light. Most common on those is a wheel bearing assembly on the front wheels.



    The ABS and Traction control is all involved in those mainly. Find a buddy or go to a dealer and ask the front end guy for a quick favor to pull the %26quot;real' codes and ask him what he thinks. Then throw him a ten dollar bill or something. He'll take care of ya.
    If the brake light switch is your problem then after replacement the system should run a self-check, if it doesn't see the fault it will either turn the light off and turn the system back on or it will start a counter, and after it runs to self-check X amount of times, different number of times for different faults. it will turn the light off and the system back on

    Can I change a LED illuminated switch to light when in the off position instead of the on position (default)?

    I have an automotive blue LED rocker switch that illuminates when in the %26quot;on%26quot; position. However, I would like for it to illuminate when in the %26quot;off%26quot; position, and not illuminate when in the %26quot;on%26quot; position. (Exactly the opposite of what it does now).



    Is it possible to change the wiring in either the switch or something else in my system to make this possible? Looking at the switch, it doesn't look that easy to take apart.. Just FYI it is part 84841 at Oreilly Auto Parts, Dorman %26quot;Blue LED Rocker%26quot;, 30 AMPS.



    Thanks

    that switch only lights up when power is supplied to it, I don't think you can wire it any differently to work the way you want it to.

    just feed the power line to switch change the teminal
    The way the switch is internal wired I don`t think you can do this without the use of a extra relay and a 16 volt diode.
