Consumer was in an accident and the ABS anti-lock brake failed and the air bags didn't deploy and the driver and passenger seat belt didn't restrain . Tt

July 1994 Crash

During light to medium braking, the ABS active light would illuminate and the anti-lock brake system would begin un-locking the brakes. This would be desirable in the winter, on ice, in a panic situation. It was however dry and sunny on the numerous occasions that this problem occurred. Nobody was injured during these malfunctions, only because of the lack of other traffic at the intersections involved. I temporarily fixed the problem by removing the main ABS relay.
