Abs system My magnum 2005 have some problems in the brakes. The problem occurs when pushing the breaks all down mostly on sand roads and in the winter. Then the break locks down and you cannot do anything(go forward or steer)until the car stops. I think it might have something to do with the abs system, because, the car does not this when I took away the abs breaks. do I need to change the whole system or what should I do?
Are the pad and rotor warn or warped, if they are it could be grabbing. Most likely I would check your brake fluid. Does the break pedal have a lot of play in it. Is it spongy or like a new car touchy. IF the breaks need to be pushed in a lot to stop or there is a lot of play in them then you could be low on fluid, have a rotor or bad issue, or your CMOS chip in your car is messing up. You can try to rest your on board system. Usually it requires you to disconnect the battery in the car for a few mins and you plug in back in. (just remove the red cable to break the circuit (remember don't drop it or it will shock you.) Then turn the car back on and reset the dash time and all that. Try your breaks now. Still the same, see someone. to get manuals and solutions to issues click here dodge.com
