When did this become a Buick LeSabre site?

 

Third gens didn't come with ABS.

If the warning light is on, there is a fault. Without using a scan tool to see what the fault is, you have no idea what to fix.

 

ttr2 , This website id dedicated exclusively to the third generation of Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird cars only , which is years 1982 through 1992 . You car is off topic for this board and it's highly likely that no one here will have an answer to your ABS/traction light problem . I will tell you this , most of our members do all of their own mechanical work , hired "Mechanics" being bigger hacks than the jerks in D.C. , and now I will tell you this also , it's ALL too common that the "Mechanic" who did your rear brakes very well could have damaged either the ABS sensor or the reluctor wheel that that triggers it , and most of these "Mechanics" will never admit to having broken something such as this .

When I.B. bought the site and decided that raw post count trumps actual content , the more posts , the more I.B. can charge the advertisers . KA CHING !!!! Can ya hear them dollars rollin in ?

 

Sorry and thanks!

 

Interesting - who is I.B.?

 

IB is "Internet Brands" , a big company that buys up (formerly) private sites such as this , sites with good "foot traffic" , and then charges advertisers top dollar for their ads to be seen on the site . In some cases this may work out well , for instance a financially struggling site with good traffic gets to remain on line rather than go dark for lack of funds , but in other instances I've seen IB literally strangle the life out of what was once the biggest and most populated RC model airplane site , "RC Universe" , which has become a literal ghost town under IB's supposed "management" . Websites are a funny breed , the chemistry that makes/keeps them popular simply can't be dictated by a corporate boardroom or advertising dollar , mess with the formula TOO much and "poof" , RC Universe being a great example of the cautionary tale of just what can happen to a site with "too many cooks in the kitchen" .....

 

Ah I see now. Thank you for the clarification. I can see why they would want this domain - it does attract some traffic that isn't so computer savvy and would probably be enticed by click-bait. I don't think I've clicked a banner ad since about 1995. They are invisible to me anyway......

If anyone would like to make all the ads invisible:

If you connect to TGO without logging in, a message window will pop up allowing you to ask a question. Since there's no requirement that it be TGO related, users who somehow find their way onto the page don't realize that the forums are third gen specific.

Again, click-bait, ad revenue etc, etc.

I use AdBlock Plus and uBlock to filter out all unwanted ads. uBlock is a way to trick web pages that know you are using an ad blocker. On TGO, I still get a couple of small Featured Sponsor banners on the right side but they are not intrusive and I feel those are more of a paid ad anyway instead of a click bait ad and should never be blocked.

 

Bad wheel speed sensor, we sold a fleet of those turds
