I replaced the harness last weekend on my 05. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem. I would recommend taking the pop rivets out of the splash shield attached to the fender well right behind the hub. The other end of the harness is attached to a hanger directly behind that shield. I had to carefully remove two of the rivets so that I could pry back the shield to get to the other connector. There is a small space in the back, about a 3" square hole that you can stick your hand through, but it's almost impossible to disconnect it like that. If you pull that shield out, it's right there and much easier to access. I hope replacing the harness fixes it for you, I was not so lucky

Thank you! I did it this morning before i went to work and it ran like a champ. Though, i took the 2nd 40 amp fuse out like you explained and the brake light still came on. TC and ABS lights came on right away, the brake light came on about 2-3 minutes into my drive. There was no noticeable problem with the actual braking. Is it something to worry about?

 

I too am having same problem with an additional issue of phantom increasing RPM and decreasing. I truly believe this is an electrical issue due to major water, slush & snow. Problem 1st appeared after a driving raining storm, everything shut down. It has been fine since August the started today. Seeing dealer Friday.

Ditto for me on the dashboard brake light. I no longer feel I am in a death trap with the ABS disabled but need to know if I should worry about the brake light.

 

I have the same problem on my 05 equinox. Fortunately for me I was told to just unplug the Abs. However when I did this the ABS light and Traction control lights both came on. My question is that now with the TC light on does that mean the AWD is no longer working? Why does the TC light come on after unplugging the ABS.

 

When I drive my car engine light is on and when my gas peddle stiffing up another engine light comes on on top of the first on with an arrow pointing down and the tc light comes on so I have to turn it off and give it a min , turn it back on and the second engine light goes off and the tc , what does that mean

 

my 2006 equinox awd lights for abs and traction control have been on since I got my brakes done and I have taken it in 3 times to 2 places and they say the sensors are not the problem. I have also been having a hard time with my ignition it takes forever for the key to turn and is getting worse. Is there a recall on ignition switchs for a 2006 equinox at all ?

 

I have been troubleshooting this problem on my wife's '07 Equinox for the last 2 years. Brakes start grabbing once driven for a while. I can be in a parking space, while in drive, and NOT move at all! No codes are reading from the OBD II port. I unplugged the front wheel speed sensor harness from the sensor and I got the same result. Once I unplugged the REAR sensor harness, the vehicle drove fine. That tells me it is the rear sensors/hub or the connector/harness. I have not seen this kind of symptom in this thread so far. I also took out the fuse for the ABS and it drives just fine now.

Does anyone have a suggestion for this problem?
