ABS wires ??

Postby Pete.s » Sat Feb 17, 2018 10:01 pm

2005 t280 swb, found these wires broke / cut today, look like ABS wires going into the back plates of my rear brake drums, the wires are cut just above the flexi hose to metal brake pipe connectors on the beam axle, question is why do i not have any warning lights on the dash?, and will my abs brakes still work?

People are lazy, instead of fixing the fault they cut the wires :roll: I thank as for mot if there's no warning lights its not a fail as long as the brakes meet the braking requirements. N
