ABS light...

In case anyone doesn't know, my ABS light has been on since springtime.

The other day I went to shoot pool at like 2:00AM and I had to park my car outside. I popped the hood and took out the ECU fuse. Anyway, when I came back I lost the fuse so I stole one from the power seat. So I went to buy fuses the next day and I just glanced at the ABS fuse. It was burnt out! I popped a new sucker in and bingo, ABS light is off! So for anyone out there with the ABS light on, check those fuses! Theres 2 of them. Hey, you never know.

Hey, it works.

I just don't feel like doing anything else to this car anymore. Damn, I still have those 2 JL 12W7's with 2 RF 1100A2's sitting here waiting to be installed. I don't think this car will ever hear those babies pound.

You know what I realized. My ABS light came on right after I did the LED dash conversion. Maybe for some weird reason I blew the fuse.

Haha. Not made of money at all. Just gotta save up. I'm 20 years old, only make 30K a year, and live home with the fam (no rent or bills). I buy everything myself with my own money. No other bills besides my car and Nextel.

Yeah, girlfriends DO cost a lot. I forgot to list that as another bill. Don’t forgot my car isn’t paid off yet. So I got the car loan, insurance, Nextel bills (rip-off), paintballing, and a girlfriend with very expensive taste, plus my own spending habits. LOL. I’ve spent a lot on my car.

I actually make a little less then 30K, like 29 or something. But I do get full health insurance. Its not bad but I do a lot of annoying work for it. We do extensive background searches on the property being sold and the owners when a house is bought or refinanced. We insure the house has a clean record so the new buyers and bank don’t have anything to worry about. Some people have judgements, liens, mortgages, unpaid taxes and water bills, etc. We make sure those are all taken care of. I mostly prepare & review legal documents (deeds, mortgages, satisfactions, etc.) for recording in each individual county. It’s a complicated process. This is called Title Insurance for those who haven’t bought or refinanced a house. You probably won’t know about it until then.

And yes, your car will not start without the ECU fuse.
