Anti-Lock Brake warning light and buzzing noise
Sigh.
It was going well too. I have done a quick search, but what does it mean when the anti lock brake light comes on and the ABS unit under the bonnet starts buzzing? I have disconnected the battery for now, to stop the buzzing. I assume that the unit has just self destructed. Any positive words? Mike

Re: Anti-Lock Brake warning light and buzzing noise
It's just a sticking ABS relay. A simple solution where you probably don't have to replace anything. If the relay needs replacing, it is very simple. Instructions and part numbers in the link below.

Re: Anti-Lock Brake warning light and buzzing noise
Don't know for sure, but I thought that, the relay was just a normal Bosch relay.

Re: Anti-Lock Brake warning light and buzzing noise
This problem just happened to me. Gave it a rap as suggested and it's fixed for now. I love it when a little aggression actually fixes a problem...
Also, this is why this site is so valuable. Got my $ worth annual dues and it's only March. Thanks for the resource. |

Re: Anti-Lock Brake warning light and buzzing noise
Wow, had to pull the ABS fuse for this on Friday and haven't found time to diagnose. I bet my problem is exactly the same because the pump kept running even with the ignition off.
What a coincidence ! Tapani |

No. Pulled the 20 amp ABS fuse. It kept buzzing with engine off.

Had it happen again, except I did not hear it and it drained the battery. Thinking I should replace it.
