Hi all,

As per my last thread I made here (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134314), I tested the sersors using a multimeter last night. All sensors gave a reading of 0.8
The guide on 106 owners says the resistance should be between 1.1 and 1.0

Any reasons why the resistance readings are low?

And to make matters worse, this morning my hand brake light stayed on allong with my ABS light.
I've tried lifting the handbrake and pressing the black switch to see if that works and I have checked my fluid level and it is topped up.
The pads and disks should be fine as I've had the car serviced a month ago and they should last a few 1000 miles more.
The light is constantly on - not flashing at all.

I've searched through some threads and was wondering how replacing fuses 2&4 (abs fuses) could help?

Any help would be appreciated guys.

lol just a wire that goes 2 a small 10mm bolt that goes through a electric o'ring which is crimped 2 the wire. Just removed the 10mm bolt and find some sand paper and just rubb off some paint and apply some grease 2 the area and re-fit the 10mm

I'll try and find them and gee it a bash. Upgrade my car knowledge.
Gona trade it in at the end of the month. Could live with the ABS light on as I could remove the bulb but now the handbrake light is on it's a headache. :wall: French! Can't win wars, can't build cars! Rant over
