How can one make Turin brakes operate under high pressure?

One would not be able to operate Turin Brakes under high pressure as they are actually a folk band from Balham, London. There are 2 members in the group.


What would cause a trac off warning light?

This light will come on when you turn the Traction Control off, or if there is a problem with the system. I would check your front wheel bearings. Are any other lights comming on, low tire pressure anti lock brakes? or maybe pressing the trac button under the shifter


Does this light stop brakes from working?

It would be against the law for a motor manufacturer to fit a light which could cause the brakes to fail.


What is usually wrong with my ABS system when the ABS light brake light are on and the brakes work with a hard pedal pressure?

In most cases, the brakes will function fine even if the ABS is not working (you just won't have the ABS feature). If you have to exert more pressure than normal on the brakes, you can be looking at an issue with the brake booster or some other part not necessarily associated with the ABS system. It sounds like the ABS light might be a secondary symptom of a larger problem. I would recommend taking the vehicle to a qualified shop asap.


Why would you have no brake pressure after replacing brakes rotors calipers and after bleeding the brakes on a 1991 cutlass supreme?

Bleed the master cylinder.& then rebleed the system.


If my antilock brake system went out on a 1997 F-250 would i still have brakes?

As long as the red " BRAKE " light is not on in your dash you still have " normal " brakes even with the ABS light on


Why would you brake light and ABS light stay lit on the dash when the brakes are new?

The abs light is a separate system from the brakes.. I know that sounds funny but the abs system is after the break system. Your brakes will still work if the abs is inop. The brake light is usually a fluid level indicator in the master cylinder, not a light to tell you to replace the pads or shoes. I would look for a fluid leak or a problem with the parking brake.


Why would the brake and abs light stay on in your 1998 dodge Durango brakes are new?

New brakes have nothing to do with it. The prolem is with the Anti-lock Brake System, and not the brakes themselves. Take it to a professional.


What are air brake gauges for?

Most air brake systems are fail-safe. This means that if there is a failure in the pressure system the brakes will lock on. You need gauges to show that you have sufficient pressure to proceed and to know your brakes are not dragging as this would cause them to overheat.


What would be the control group for light under water?

light that is not under water


What would cause the dashboard warning light for the brake system to still illuminate after the brakes were repaired?
