brake question

[Zippo910]

A few days ago when it was raining I hit a huge puddle and I think it messed up my brakes. When I come to a stop at slow speeds the brake pedal goes in then it kind of pops back up a little bit and the low traction light comes on. Is the master cylinder going bad or is it because it got wet? It’s been two days since the water and it still does it but I have only drove the car once so I don’t know if it dries out in time by sitting or if it has to be driven, if water is the problem.

The water did something to the front ABS sensors or connectors ont he front wheels. Recommend you remove the connectors & spray some contact cleaner on both parts - I bet that fixes it.

Yep..... ABS sensor. Had an identical problem when the ABS sensor on my Strange 12-bolt would get out of adjustment. The sensor is producing a signal, but not a strong one. As the wheel speed goes down near "0", the ABS computer loses the signal, assumes the wheel has locked up and activates the ABS for that wheel.

can someone tell a general location where the abs sensor is located and what it looks like?

thanks for the help

Thanks for the help. Three dollar bottle of cleaner fixed the problem a lot less then I think a shop would have charged.
