Title: Warninglight fuse?
Post by Chaoslord on May 21^st, 2006, 5:42pm

Is there such a thing as a fuse for the warning lights, such as ABS, TC and airbag?

Fuse 27 in the central fuse box (Drivers side) for Air bag and ABS. Fuses 46 and 47 in the Auxillary fuse box (Passenger side) for the ABS module.

I believe those are the fuses for the ABS and airbags, not the ABS and airbag warning lights.

The details of all fuses are in the handbook. http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/handbook.htm. Go to the index to obtain the page details,however there does not appear to be a reference to the 'warning' lights specifically............. As for you Baz..... ;) ;D. I got fed up with going to those pages so printed them off to my 'Scorpio Boys' file!!. If you wern't so good with TV's I'd start a ' cheeky lads' section in it !!!. ;) ;D.

I couldnt find any warning light fuse either.
Is there any other way to turn off the ABS warning light, besides removing the bulb, or actually replacing the faulty ABS sensors?

As you said remove the bulb, but would not recommend,

ABS is a safety feature & should be functional at all times, it may be only 1 sensor faulty although it is recommended they are replaced in pairs.

Before you go replacing sensors have a look at this page and its links. A frequent fault is dirt/corrosion on the sensors or the loom connections.http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/abssystem.htm.

Thanks for the reply guys.
I know which sensor it is, cause its missing... :-[
I just wanted to pass the EU car control we have here in Norway every other year. I would then fix the sensor after the car got the ok form the controller guys.
As it is now, I dont have the finaces to fix the ABS, so I was looking for an easy way out.
