shelbyone Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi there. I need a transaxle relay for my 89 tcBrakes failed. Brake light comes onCode says 12 and 24. Where can I get a relay? Or maybe its something else?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest My TC Toy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Code 12 signifies the battery has been disconnected, also indicates there have been no key-ons since battery has been disconnected. Code 24 indicates throttle position sensor circuit is below acceptable voltage. I do not see how any of the codes indicate any brake or tranny failure.

Or maybe its something else?!Would you tell us what indications you get from your brakes other than the light. And, just which light, brake or anti-lock?

shelbyone Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Its the anti lock light thats steady on and if you press the brake pedal its almost not moving towards the floor. The brakes were serviced 7 moths ago with bleeding. Everything was fine. The car was jumped and the battery externally charged while in the car. I was not present when this happened.

shelbyone Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Also. I had to change a 30 amp fuse that was positioned inside the engine compartment(right fender front). It was not only blown but melted. Did not change the issue. Car starts, drives. Everything seems to work except fir the brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything seems to work except fir the brakesYOU LIKELY NEED ONLY TO CORRECT THE (woops) terminals that the fuse goes into.Cut the 2 wires out of the plastic box and install a store bought fuse holder that has leads attached. Just let it hang outside the box or fasten it to something nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyone Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Correct the terminals? But i put a new fuse in! And it dis not blow. And i still cannot break.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostymosty Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 You may have burned the wire ends that go to and from the fuse. See if you have power before the fuse and again after the fuse. It is a common problem on the TC at the brake relay/fuse box, the one on the passenger side that has the 3 in it and a black cover that is missing on a lot of TC's. If the wire ends are bad then the fuse won't blow because it is either not getting power or not sending power anywhere.David in Riverside, CA with no TC at this time.

ghostymosty Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 http://forums.aaca.org/f144/disable-abs-system-192224.htmlTake a look at this post from someone who did the conversion to 89 LeBaron brakes. Just notice that it includes the need to change the brake pedal assembly.David in Riverside, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
