cheekymonkey Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I've been looking through my service manual, finding which brake line to tap in to for my new line lock kit. I stumbled upon the circuit diagrams for the whole ABS system and got thinking. It strikes me that if I was feeling particularly cunning, I could have saved the £75 for a line lock kit, and tapped into the electrically operated solenoids inside the ABS unit itself, using a switch to block off the front two lines as and when required. Anyone ever tried this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 sounds an interesting idea that, but i dunno if id be messing with my ABS unit. I like stopping when i press the brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hey, you'd still have the rear brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 The ABS diagnostic may not like it. Also the solenoid may not like being at 100% duty cycle for long and may overheat. Its designed to pulse, not operate continuously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
