can anyone help?? hv. a problem with brakes
 
Hello my land rover brothers and sisters! Well i hv a slight problem and im 3 hrs away from a landrover shop. I just notice that my brake , the T.C. ,and ABS lights are on in my console and my brake lights stay on when i start my 1999 range rover p-38 4.0 and wont go off and i ck'ed the fuses and the small things but hv not a clue why ??? i'm thinking the accumulator???? need sum one's help. Thank you.

See if the ABS pump is running when you first turn the key.

I would suspect the accumulator. But you need listen to the pump and find out what it is doing. Is it turning on and off quickly, is it running continuously, is it struggling to run, does it sound smooth or coarse, etc?

Thank you guys, Well when i start it i can here the accumulator going on and off like every 10 sec. and when i ck'ed the relay it was doing the same thing, like a buzz every 10 sec. ?????? or when i put the brakes on i can here the abs pump where the accumulator is making the same buzz noise. ?????? like i said im 3 hrs. from any landrover mech. east and 5 hrs south west of me. clue less ??? i really hate to drive it on the freeway like that. any suggestion?? Thanks alot.

A relay shouldn't buzz. Try swapping it with a known good one.

LRScott 07-28-2010 08:57 PM

The only thing that should make the noise is the pump. The accumulator shouldn't make any noise and the relay as Wilson stated, shouldn't either.

Morning, my mistake, the pump dose make the noise not the accumulator and the relay as well makes a click when the pump buzzes and it dose this every ....i'd say 8 to 10 sec. intervals and last about 1 sec. ea. also when i push the break pedal down it dose the same thing. should i change my Accumulator???? It's a fine time to happen too, our family car is in the shop 3 hrs away and i have know idea when that ride well be done :( Im so thankful for this forum and i'am a bit of a handy man but not a full blown mech. Thanks my fellow land rover brothers............

sounds like the accumulator. That is the first thing I would replace. The pump could also be weak, but if you need a new pump, you have to replace the accumulator anyway. It is a fairly easy job and is not that expensive.(for a land rover part that is)

abs problem
 
Hello and Thanks,well i found a pump but it's to a RR classic, I did take the pressure switch off that pump. When i was getting ready to take off pressure switch on my ABS pump i notice a leak. so i change it and all 3 lights(TC,Brake and ABS) went off. but my exterior brake lights are still on and wont go off. STILL clueless as to way ??????????????? Thanks for ur help my fellow Land Rover Brothers. P.s. my Pressure switch was out. The spring which goes in and out was in and would not spring outward.
