ABS problem with my 1996 Pontiac Grand am
2.4L VIN "T"
dash lights = SES,Brake,ABS
GM Computer codes = P0753, P0758, P1864
Repairs done prior = trying to diagnose AC clutch problem
How found us = father came across web site
GM tech = JK
question = i was having problems with my ac clutch making noise, was trying to
diagnose if it was the clutch, read on the internet you could jump 2 wires to
engage the clutch, i believe i jumped the wrong wires, the wires were located
under the "high" pressure side ac line, when i jumped the wires the engine would
stumble shortly and return to normal, after trying that, i got in the car and started
it, that is when all of the warning lights came on, i tried to shift from park and the
shifter would not move, so i pushed in the button to force it out of park, and
when i started to drive forward it felt like the brakes were locked, but i did a little
research and found out it was starting in 3rd gear and did not have 1st or 2nd,
do you know if i did jump the wrong wires and that caused the new problem, and
do you know if i need a new computer, or do i need to change the shift solenoids
in the tranny, any help will be apriciated.
JK:
Well, the first thing you need to do is check ALL the fuses. You may have blown
a fuse or a couple. It is also possible that the wires you jumpered damaged the
computer or burned up the ignition switch. These trans. codes you have can be
caused by a faulty ignition switch and not internal to the transmission.

Question = rear running lights dont work what to do after replacing fuse and bulbs fuse breaks

Answer: With the fuse popping every time you put one in, that
means there is a direct short to ground somewhere along the
rear taillight harness. I'd start by removing the taillights and look
for pinched wiring or a broken wire that is touching metal. You
could have two wires that are touching each other and causing
the short. If you don't see anything back at the taillight area, you
will have to follow the harness up through the car and to the dash
to look for the problem. Usually these wiring shorts occur in the
rear, and if you've had it apart, you could have pinched the
harness or not connected something right. Start looking there.
