urgent problem (s) 200 93

posted by  someone claiming to be ben carter on  Thu Aug 23 13:29 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello again

Our '93 240 DL wagon is acting up and the dealer can't help. The ABS light comes on occasionally so I think (as do they) that it is related to that.

When I come to a stop in the car it slows down nicely but just before I come to a complete stop the car makes a grinding noise in the front right, the brake pedal drops a little and the car veers to the right. They checked the brakes and they are fine, new even. The tires are new and the front end just aligned. The car has been doing this for a couple of months. The 'urgent' tag is because it seems to be getting worse and the DEALER can't fix it.

Oh yes, there is one more problem, while I have your attention. The upshift arrow on the overdrive won't go out. The relay is new. It sometimes works for a day and then quits again.I cleaned the switch with contact cleaner but haven't metered it yet.

Any and all suggestions would be really appreciated!

respond to carter@andrew.cmu.edu or to the brick board.

Thank you

Ben & family
