Hello everyone, I have been reading about this subject since yesterday. The brake alarm is sounding for about 10 seconds when I first start the car, it stops but the BRAKE, ABS, and traction lights all stay on.... I'm not expert which is what leads me to yall....
However, I did take a look at the fluid level and master assemble and noticed broken wires on the harnesses. See pics below...
My brakes feel fine but I need to dive the kids around daily so they need to be better than fine.... Any opinions out there?
Pictured above is from my 2000LC. With the recent snow in NTX I disconnected my battery and covered the wire and harness with foil to keep the critter from causing more damage. My wife drives a 2007LC, during the snow storm we took her LC to the park and the warning lights came on, I popped the hood and look what I found:
Live animal traps are set and foil is wrapped each night to keep more damage. However, this is confirmation that my issue is not the ABS booster, its the squirrel. It will die.
JANUARY 14 Update:
We parked the cars down the street and made it through the night with no damage. I pulled both in the driveway in the morning and did the kid to school routine while wife went to work. She came home for lunch, parked it in the driveway and this happened in a 45min. period.
I took a half day from work and headed to a friends house. We dove into my LC as my wife's (pictured above) needs to have some wires managed before I attempt to drive it anywhere. We started be removing all the covers to get and idea of what the damage is. The squirrel had worked over much more than we could originally tell. We soldered and sealed all the chewed up wires. The housing and clips were all in good shape and pretty easy to take apart once we figured out how they snapped in. Someone below found all the part numbers if anyone ever needs it. STAY ORGANIZED and have a steady hand! Some pics from the repair....
