Hey guys, I have a 92 B2200 5spd EFI airbagged, 2" bd 5 lug conversion. today i was turning onto my street and the brake light on the cluster came on lost brake pedal pressure and the antilock light came on then the pedal was fine and was for the rest of the day. Any idea what may have caused this. previous owner said it happens only at full lock. I want to fix it not live with it like he did.

If it only happens at full lock I would check to see if one of the rubber lines going to the calipers up front is getting pinched....

All rubber lines are good. It turns out that the way the bags were mounted the calipers would com into contact with them and push the piston back in. Moved the bags and problem is gone. was a weird feeling and glad it is taken care of.

That is weird. Good thing you found it. Kinda figured it had to do with something hitting when you turned.

Ya I found it weird. and then found the problem by fluke. Big day though cause I drove it to the office this morning. first time it has been driven since 2004.
