Feb 13, 2018 · Over the last year it had developed the infamous 3 amigos. But they didn't all light at once. When you started up ABS and TC remained lit. Then upon using the brakes for the first time after starting, there was little to no braking power. It felt like the brakes were grinding.
Dec 19, 2020 · Posted December 19, 2020. Hi Dave. I suspect you have 2 different issues. If you "Google" the three amigos you'll get loads of info on your warning lights. Usually a bad hub/wheel sensor or shuttle valve. For your suspension not raising you'll need to go through the system in logical manner e.g. checking the compressor works/air lines/rhs/bags ...
Mar 16, 2014 · Three amigos is the most annoying fault that I know, it can be away for months and then all of a sudden it can appear every time you start the engine. I used hours, days, months and years trying to find the true problem that engage lights on dashboard.
Jul 31, 2019 · NeilF. Settled In. 89. Location:Dublin, Ireland. Posted July 31, 2019. Last year, and being fed up with the three amigos, I passed on the instructions for direct wiring of the shuttle valve block to my garage man to do while he did his annual service. He was quite happy to do that but reported back that the three amigos indicated an actual ...
Feb 8, 2021 · Location:Cape Town. Posted February 13, 2021. My Disco had the 3 Amigos in permanent residence when I bought it, and my Nanocom told me it was a wheel sensor, which was replaced, only for them to reappear. It was the need to replace my battery that cured them, at the end. I made up a new earth cable and replaced both clamps as they were not in ...
Jun 18, 2010 · had a good check over the whole car and everything seems fine. More than likely the abs sensor went out of range or some other stupid thing and its stored the fault and given the 3 amigos. question is, will it fail the MOT having those lights on? Problem is i cant get to a test book to clear them until next weekend and the mot is tomorrow.
Apr 9, 2012 · Brake light switch failure can also cause it as said BUT check your brake switch first. Depending on the year of the car it will be a two or a three wire switch . If it is the former then it is not connected to the system and that avenue can be ignored . Only the three wire switch is relevent to this fault.
Dec 16, 2013 · Location:Maidstone UK. Posted December 16, 2013. I have a 04 V6 Auto freelander that Ive only covered 40 k since new. I had the 3 amigos during the summer- that was an easy fix as it was the brake switch- obvious as the switch was arced up and dirty- plus, you can hear the relay operate when its functioning ok as theres a definite clunk down ...
Feb 14, 2017 · This lack of use causes the shuttle valve to stick, try resetting the ABS then go and find some grass/mud/gravel and do a few emergency stops. This cured the recurring “three amigos” on our Defender XS. Obviously check for other faults first, like wheel sensors. And try to use the ABS every so often.
