Hey Guys..
I was drivin along and my brakes gave out..like striaght down! to the floor.and no return up..oh sh!t..well I down shifted and slowed down to use the E-brake..so no worries there..but I figured out what did it..stupid stupid me..I had a battery cable from my mega stereo days still hooked the battery about 5 inchs long, well the zip ties must have corroded and let it go and it ARC WELDED a HOLE in my brake line..well needless to say I need a new brake line from the ABS Box to the rear junction ..
?? any suggestion about replacing the line , tricks,helpful thoughts,condolences
are apreciated

Next question ..what in my ABS system could I have royally f-ed up w/ the jolt of 14volts is there electric parts in that ABS box just hydraulics..

thanks
Geoffrey
