Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

Well, I know its not from the parking brake being pulled up. I have the DRLs disabled so the light doesn't work when you pull the parking brake handle up. It's also broken so. But it still did it before i disabled them. I can't think of anything else that could be sending a signal to the PCM. Maybe the car is just haunted
I have some replacement front calipers coming in today too that I plan on getting powdercoated or painting blue.
Well.. I think I found the culprit. According to a Mustang forum.. yes I know.. Mustangs. There is a guy on there who has the same problem as me. Steps on the brakes, light comes on. It can be due to low fluid level, or just that the pads need replacing. I haven't changed the pads since I've owned the car. I have no idea when the last time they ever were changed. Carfax doesn't even have anything on them being changed so, but I doubt they'd list something like that. I believe that the PO painted the calipers when he brought the car to Michigan from Florida, since they are red. I would think he would have replaced the pads when he did them. The car has been in Michigan since 07, and the PO did about 13,000 miles. So the pads would only have 15,000 miles on them.. Pads are supposed to last longer I thought lol. All in all, it kinda makes sense, kinda doesn't.
Another fault could be Vehicle speed sensors.
Few things. Can someone remove the [Project] and project before NYTRDR from the thread name. It's no longer a project.
I fixed the seat spring today. I was feeling the underpart of my seat and noticed something hanging down, so I pulled it and saw it was broken. Ordered a used one off eBay. Going to make a few of them as well. uploadfromtaptalk1431634930520.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1431634963386.jpg
Annnnnd lastly, my shifter knob locked up for some reason. It went on like butter, then just locked up. Can't get it off. So, if I dont have it off by the meet & greet, first person to get it off gets $5! uploadfromtaptalk1431635187212.jpg
Im not 100% but I believe there is a wire on the proportioning valve. That will set a brake light if it senses air in the system. Could be incorporated into rhe abs. I cant remember for sure though.
Dan bring the car over Ill get that knob off. I got a tourch , no sweat. I could use the fin.
It looks like the proportioning valve is built into the master cylinder. There were no connections going to the MC, so I think it's safe to say it is an abs problem. I went out earlier to see if the brake light was still coming on, and it isn't so. I rinsed off the car yesterday, and since then the light hasn't came on. I'm going to go over the ABS sensors when I get a nice day out and feel like doing it.
As for the shifter knob, [MENTION=4461]zeeman[/MENTION] You wouldn't damage my beloved Hurst knob or the threads now would you?
The combo/proportioning valve is built into the ABS block. There is a switch that is normally open but will close with unequal pressure, which causes the BRAKE light to come on. The only other way for it to come is by the ebrake switch.

The fact you know all this blows my mind. Thank you so much. Appreciate it!
Grandpa got my shifter knob off for me. Tore up my shoulder pretty bad getting the stick off though. Just aggravated something that was starting to get bad.

I got the nickname TiVo many years ago, and now a few people call me Mike Ross (from the USA Networks show Suits) I have a knack for remembering numbers and unimportant things...
Anyway, try bleeding the brakes again. Do it with the car running and the old school two person bleed.

I know some of the older ABS units (perhaps some newer ones too) benefited from being activated by scan tool while bleeding...helping to purge trapped air from the ABS unit. I'm not familiar with the unit on these F-bodies. Does the factory bleed procedure include this step?
Right now, the light stopped coming on. I have no idea why.. But I will bleed them anyways and give an update. Thanks [MENTION=3564]hoogiesngrinderz[/MENTION] you the man
