fired her up and the damn emergency brake motor is screwed............ so the search is on for a new motor for the emergency brake. It is times like these i wish it was a normal one.


I havent driven her in like a year, it was weird firing her up. So purrrrrrrfect sounding, except the emergency brake motor. it turned my smile into a frown.

anyoe have a quick link for a source by any chance?

 

Hey! Welcome back stranger! Feels like a long lost member of the family is back!

I don't know if Nalley Jaguar was a sponsor when you were here a lot, but their prices rock for new OEM dealer parts.. Give them a shout..

And, again, it's nice to see you back Jason.

 

Hi Jason!
Sure it's the motor? Just thinking that fuse, relay or even the module would be easier to change

 

SOAK the old motor in WD-40, and give it about an hour, then try it again. This may take a couple tries. Also soak the cables that go to the calipers. Electrical motors don't just die sitting in storage. Corrosion is the enemy.

And in the meanwhile, welcome back buddy! Glad to see you still have the car.

Take care,

George

 

yeah its def the motor, i think a gear is bad in it, sounds like a blender

 

thanks for the welcome back,

what happened to riski??? i see the RIP's.....i did a search but turned up nothing?

 

Welcome back , it's very lovely to see you're back .I hate to give off bad news but he was killed in a car crash

 

Welcome back Jason, good to hear that you still have the Jag.

 

Hey Jason, on a sad note, like Caddy said, Joe passed in a bad car accident.

Here is a thread... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/m...p-riski-49168/

Warning... It may bring a tear to your eye... We were all sad and stunned when it happened...

On a brighter note.... VW GTI???? Cool!

 

I would check ebay on the motor I remember seeing a couple on there before, and the price was under $50. I was was gonna get one just as a spare.

 

Does the LS use the EBP system too? Food for thought?

Let me do some research.

Take care,

George

 

awwwww damn. R.I.P riski, since im late to the news, ill fire up the "R" today an let her purr in memory.


on a different note, yes. instead of getting rid of the "R" i got rid of my crotch rocket, and my tacoma. Picked up the mk6 GTI


Anyway, i grabbed her from storage yesterday. Man for an 8 year old vehicle with 52k on the clock, she feels still new. other than the emrgency brake noise (which if you hold the switch down before removing the key it wont do it)

 

It lives!!! Been five months but like Jason`s, it ran again for the first time.

Okay, three flat tires (started up the compressor, problem solved).
Bought a ballast and will do Brutal`s headlight repair. (This weekend).
Bought new pads for the rear brakes (Next weekend).

She needs work and then I`ll see about what to do about her.

Nice to drive her again though...

 

Awesome! Welcome back to the world of the living. The flat tires would be a little concerning though - slow leaks or faulty valve stems perhaps?

Did you use any fuel stabilizer? I used Sta-bil and mine fired up and ran great after winter storage.

 

Tires are all in need of replacement. They are no longer worthy!

I used sta-bil and it started right up, no sweat (battery was nearly dead and I got the e-brake fault. I let it run for a while, disconnected the battery and waited.....reconnected and restarted and all was well).

 

Good show, glad to hear it. I left mine on a battery tender all winter, nice little gadget.

Yeah you better get some new rubber before you make that drive down here in June!

 

Jason, I would disc the cables off the calipers and run the motor. If you take off the connector that houses the 4 10ga wires on the Park brake module (right rear trunk)
I know you can fashion up a jumper to run the motor in.out. Jaguar has a special push button tool to do this but all youre doing is providing power and ground. the noise you hear is the motor racheting and probobly stuck cables. And long as its making that noise all is not lost. Its when it does nothing that you need a new one

 

you my friend are a god amongst gods........i will do that tomorrow, should i run them out or in all the way first, once they are disconnected?? im thinking i can lube the cables also while i am under there. ill start with the wd-40 and then inspect it from there.

 

Run them out first to loosen and take the cables off the rear brakes calipers. Then run them in/out afew times. If that doesnt work fully charge the battery(you know i meen a full 12.6volts with a charger set low overnight) charge with the battery disconnected from the car to reboot modules. The fact that you let the battery get weak while in storage and didnt have on a battery tender meens you may have induced your own issues into the modules. You may even want to charge and reboot first since its alot easier

 

ok so is there an easy way to disconnect the caliper lines? i tried running the motor out today, and no movement at all. i tried yanking the lines to see f i could get them to move, but alsa nothing. I was going to try and pry them up, but figured i would ask you first. I soaked the hell out of the connection point and spring, and where they run inside the cable.

Also when running the motor either way (reversing the polarity) it sounds like the same. Except on the opposite way the pitch changes.
