RE AND CHERYL

I installed a late model SS spoiler on my 94 Z28 and got the ABS fault light like many of us found out. Several people sugested installing a resistor to fool the computer. I did that and it worked but the resistor gets hot as hell and it worries me. I installed a 1 watt 10 ohm resistor.

Did this happen to any one else? What did you do about it? What size resistor did you use?

Thanx

Use a relay. It is heavy duty enough to dissipate the heat. Bridge your two leads to 85 and 86 of the relay.

ive converted to a ss wing before and never got the abs light? just hook up the new brake light wiring.

^^^^ like he said if ur wirings not hooked up ..hook it up......ive hear cases where if the wiring not hookedd up it will trip the light

I just put mine on and DID wire it and I got the same problem. It's because the light uses led's and not bulbs. The PCM is looking for a resistance from a bulb filament. A resistor is ok but you'll be droping a lot of voltage and not giving the led's the full 12 volts. The best way to fix it is like Rob said with a relay. The coil of the relay will act like the filament of the bulb when the led is not on.

BTW when I called RK Sports about the problem, they said they never heard of it and no one had the problem in the past

Another reason to stay away from those pirates. Sheesh.
