Lots of lights on!!! help

[Russler]

Hi all....had rear pads replaced on Friday and all was well until I went to use my car for first time this morning, I drove about 1/2 mile and SERV light came on along with traction control and ABS lights? what could cause this please...? Of course I am going to approach the garage that did the pads but just want to make sure I know the facts so they dont try to pull one over on me...

thanks

Knackered ABS sensor. They shouldn't have gone anywhere near an ABS sensor though, just doing the rear pads.

hmmm...they also did topmounts for me...so do you think they could have busted it when doing the work? is it an expensive fix?

 

[Russler]

surely it could be the wheel speed sensor on the rear ? not sure why it would have been touched but it is a bit of a coincidence?

most likely damaged the abs sensor/wire when they removed the struts

 

[Russler]

so lights have gone off...popped into the garage this afternoon and they plugged it in and said there is an intermittent signal from brake pedal switch??? fob off? or is it a common fault on these? I used to own VAGs and replaced 2 on one car so I know they are an issue...he wanted £55 quid fitted but to be fair on the VAGs they were fiddly but simples to do....thoughts?

Brake pedal sensor costs fack all from Renault, and takes 30 seconds to fit

Sounds like switch sensor - £13 from Renault, 30 seconds to fit.

See if it comes back again, mine does it every now and then!

 

[Russler]

ok cool...will see what happens cheers guys
