e39 abs/asc fault light fix

[moots]

have been having intermittent illumination of the abs/asc light for the past 2 weeks and finally had a go to t/shoot it yesterday.both light comes on at the same time and most times they come on when the rh front wheel is subjected to bumps.so i went straight to that wheel and found that the abs sensor wire all frayed and almost broken.(hence intermittent lights).the location of the break is where the wire is subject to the most flexing when the wheels move up and down.so i re-make the connection,reprotected and resecured the whole harness better and it works like a charm.and btw,both the warning lights go off as soon as the wires are connected.nice to know that with rm260 saved,i can treat the mrs and me to a buka puasa treat at the kl tower ramadhan buffet..... :top:
