ABS and traction control light
My FRS recently just started having the ABS and traction control light come on after I hit the brakes. It goes off if I turn on and off and if I dont hit the brakes right away. It also messes with my cruise control and it burns out the fuse to my brake lights.
I know thats alot but has anyone else had to deal with this and how did you fix it? Thanks |

Did you put led lights in anywhere?

I had to install resistors inline with my LED lights. I had the Stop fuse blow... LEDs are very efficiant, the car sees them as a direct short compared to an incandecent bulb. why the resistor is needed.

I retract my last statement after a long outline of how long ago and how long I had her in storage. After two months of getting her out of storage she started having that problem.

Google this topic, this is not uncommon. Typically due to damaged ABS sensors, or more potentially a bad brake light switch by the brake pedal

A couple things that are probably right on your car but worded wrong above. LED are seen as an open circuit due to the low current draw. The best option is to replace the flasher with one designed for LED’s. If not the resistors need to be installed in parallel to the LED’s. If you had the stop fuse blow due to an LED installation there is an issue with the LED or circuit.

Can you post you wire diagram and component specs? That would narrow down if the issue is somewhere else than you lights.

I don't have an issue. OP, does. I was just saying that if our cars have the wrong resistance for the lighting; it can blow fuses. And that the ohm load of an incandescent bulb is much higher than an efficient LED. (or group of LEDs in series) You can direct hook 4 three volt LEDs in series to a 12v circuit. But, the voltage to our cars jumps to 14.5v when the car is started. Thus the need for a resistor, so as not to overdrive the (small) LEDs I am using. I 'm using 18 5mm LEDs in a series / parallel configuration with a resistor in one location. I have different configurations in different locations.
