My 89 xjs v-12 blows the 30 amp abs fuse under the passenger side dash when I switch the key to the number 2 position !!! The abs and brake lights are also illuminated when I put the key into the number 1 position. I replaced the accumulator less than 1k miles ago and have 55k total mileage.

Please feel free to respond !!! btw, Happy Thanksgiving

ken in wild and wonderful WV..... by golly !!

 

The problem will more than likely be a pinched wire in the ABS harness

Thanks... Hate to sound as dumb as I am, but where is the harness and where do I chase the problem to and from ??? A photo or two would be great !!!

Ken ps... you're up early mate !!

 

Post #28 shows the ABS connectors and harness, they are the blue and black connectors. Do what Jimmy did and unwrap the wiring find the pinched wire, repair it then as Jimmy did use wire tubing so it never happens again.
