I just bought a 95ish Integra. The ABS light is on, and I traced part of the problem to the ABS fuse box under the hood. There is a heavy gauge wire going from it to the vicinity of the battery, but it has been disconnected. Below is a picture of the fuse box and the wire. Is this wire a ground, or does it get +12v?

Thanks in advance!

that is a positive wire and i do believe it goes to the positive terminal on the battery. it does goto the battery positive just looked at my car.

 

Here is a picture of my engine bay. Looks like it goes to the battery. But my abs light is on too and I have no clue why.

 

^^^^^ i dont know much about abs but i would look to see if you have any blown fuses in that little fuse box...or any fuse box for that matter there are 3 in total.

 

Thanks! I suspected it went to +12v, considering the general location of the wire. But ya can never be too safe.

Mike, I did check the fuses, and they all look good.

 

i dont know much at all about abs...havent had a problem with it yet...i know there is fluid in it though so maybe its low??? also maybe it will throw a code when you scan it??? someone help him

 

Well, I hooked up the wire and drove it around for a couple minutes and there doesn't seem to be any problem. No light, brakes work as expected. I'll drive it around some more tomorrow when the roads dry.

Funny thing is, I bought this car dirt cheap because the owner was concerned when the ABS light came on. Apparently last time it happened he shelled out $1800 for the repair. And this time it seems like the only problem is that someone forgot to reconnect that wire when they replaced the battery!
