Today, I got everybody favourite twins, the ABS/Tracs combo :(

Turn the ignition, the ABS light flickers, then stays on, Tracs stays on all the time. Just tried the key wiggle, no difference.

Am I right in thinking I now just have 'normal' brakes? it seems to stop just as well as ever, if this is the case, I may run her around for awhile, I don't like ABS anyway.

(My Sierra has never had working ABS, and I've owned that 10yrs)

Wobbly dave can sort it for a price it will be the box under the abs unit as you look down had mine done by him three odd years ago and no probs since, no idea what he charges these days or if he still does it but worth a go
