ABS

Can my car sit and idol if my abs pump is dry, so I can keep my battery charged or should I just un hook it, because I believe my accutrator are leaking, and don't have time to fix it.

If you let the ABC pump run dry you most likely have killed it.

That was my question... ABS or ABC? ABS doesn't have a reservoir, it's part of the braking system. ABC pump will NOT survive being run while dry.

The fluid for my ABC and the fluid for my power steering are full, but yet my ABC dash light is red on start up, does that mean I need a flush , I have no sag no leaks, if so how did you make your kit?
