Alright gents, I borrowed an OTC Genisys from a friend of mine to dig further into my abs/brake light on issue with my 2006 4.2.
I had posted some of this years ago but for a refresher, spring of 2020 or so, driving around in the slush and snow, the abs and brake light would randomly come on and off. Eventually staying on. I cleaned the ground on the frame under the driver area. The ground was rusty but no change when cleaning it. I had cleaned it a few more times since, including daisy chaining a ground wire to a couple other grounds. No change.
Next I tried cleaning the contacts in the ignition switch. This caused the CAD motor to quit, along with the blower fan. New switch, which I believe was the new light colored one was put in. The CAD and fan were back working but still the brake and abs lights on.
Thw e brake switch works as it will chime as soon as you pull the handle.
Brake fluid level is good and they have been flushed a couple times in the last 5 or so years.
So, ECBM..... doesn't look like the ones on the videos but looks to be right in front of the fuel tank, driver side. There is one large connector, which I am leary to mess with as the little lever or cam lock broke off. The electronics look to be accessible with four torx once the connector is removed.
Is it a logical step to remove the connector and dig in?
