Hi! How often should I hear my ABS accumulator pump relative to brake applications?:wrench Thanks.

It should take at least three full pumps of the brake pedal before the accumulator kicks in.

I seem to hear mine kick in around every second pump. What could this be telling me if anything?:blah:

The accumulator is slowly wearing out. More than likely it'll work fine for much more time to come, but as it is an older car these parts do tend to die out eventually.

BRAKE light
Thanks for the feedback, Today there's a new twist though. As of this A.M. My red BRAKE idiot light is now on.
It's not the parking brake cause it wasn't even applied. I'm sure this could mean many things but could someone holler at me with where I should start my investigation. Thanks.

ABS Pump motor leak?
Well, I found some brake fluid dripping from my front driver side framerail, obviously a leak somewhere. Traced it to the ABS pump motor (had to get under it with a mirror to actually spot it. Appears to be coming from the connection between the motor & the pump itself.:slam I see some blue silicone (or is it a demo-ed o-ring) squeezing out between the motor & the pump housing. Can you actually separate these 2 parts or does the motor and the pump have to be replaced as a unit? What might be the actual source of the leak? Internal pump seals? The ford manual exploded diagram does not show these as 2 separate pieces. Please help!:bash:
