![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi Guys,
New to the forum, but very passionate about my jag; she is a 1988 XJ6 Vandem Plas, with 62,000 miles and a Champagne exterior. She was a daily driver from 1988 - 1995, at which point my father retired her and she was left sitting in the garage for the next bunch of years.. I have been taking her to a mechanic over the last year and getting all of the kinks worked out and i am happy to say she is fully drivable now, except the ABS is not working correctly / at all.
If anyone has any ideas on what could be wrong with the ABS i am all ears.
Thanks guys!

Thank you for moving the post*
When started up a warning light says ABS failure.
No leaking fluids or hard petal, the ABS simply does not kick in. Under normal braking circumstances everything works, but extreme braking on the highway the steering locks up / abs does not kick in.
Thanks in advance!

They call it an Over Voltage Relay. They are usually very easy to fix. Pop the cover off and you can generally see the broken relay solder joints. Resolder the joints and the ABS will be happy again. There is also an itty bitty 8 amp glass fuse that sometimes blows.
I have run across very few I couldn't fix.
