'93 Range Rover question about brakes/high pitched whine
First: Where exactly do you ad brake fluid? And Second: everytime I
step on the brakes I hear this high pitched whine/buzzing along with a flashing light that looks like a fan inside a rectangle with a fluid symbol above the fan. Both the noise and the flashing light stop a few seconds after letting off the brakes. What could that high pitched buzzing sound be? (hint: the sound is similar to what a car antenna retracting sounds like) Please anybody help! |

'93 Range Rover question about brakes/high pitched whine
Add brake fluid at the reservoir, on the drivers side, attached to the
firewall. Sounds like you have 2 problems. 1- your brake pads are dead. That light is a brake pad indicator that you are hitting the sensor to the rotor. Replace pads all around for best fix. 2, your ABS is probably flipping out, thats what is sounds like when activated. I would recommend the following. Go under the hood and find the abs control (drivers side, mounted over the wheel well, it has brake lines coming out of it.) disconnect the wiring harness from the abs. Drive truck and see if the noise is still there (Im willing to bet its not), if this is the case, your wheel sensors are probably toast which is causing your ABS to act up. If the noise is still there, then I have no idea... This of course after you have made sure your fluid is at the correct level and visually inspected the brakes for problems. This really isnt technical at all, just get in there and get familiar with what is under there... and if you decide to sell it cheap... well- let me know, Im always looking for a good RRC. |
