Hmm.. I have actually looked for that, my chilton implies that because this is an AWD model in wasn't equipped with one. I've followed the line to the front and didn't find one, unless it is for some reason between the fuel tank and the floor of the van.

Re: Town & Country Brake Troubles Sign In

It wouldn't be hard to find, so maybe yours isn't equipped. It should have a Bendix ABS system in it that could be causing problem with fluid getting to that wheels. Sometimes they use the ABS system to proportion brake fluid to the rear. I don't know if that system is that high tech though. You might have to unscrew the brake pipe for that wheel at the ABS module and then see if the line is clear. If the line is clear, bleeding the ABS module out might be the next step. There is a huge procedure for bleeding out the hydraulic modulator and it requires a scan tool with the capability to do that.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Whoops didn't mean to make this extra post, I thought my last one didn't go through.

Re: Town & Country Brake Troubles Sign In

You are correct about it having a Bendix ABS system. I'll see what I can do, however I don't know a whole lot about ABS systems so I'll have to be cautious. If I end up having to bleed the hydraulic modulator I might just have to live with 3 wheel braking, I definitely can't afford a scan tool, particularly not for a car with 3/4 of a million miles on it.

I am really amazed at the thought process of some DIYers.

Why have you ruled out simply just paying a shop to bleed your brakes for you?

Re: Town & Country Brake Troubles Sign In

Bleeding the brakes has gone fine, but I know very little about ABS systems if I'm honest so when Discretesignals said that the bleeding the hydraulic modulator was a huge procedure and that it would require a scan tool I decided that I was probably out of luck for now. I'm in college right now and have pretty much no money so that's why I can't get a shop involved. Having looked up hydraulic modulator bleeding it doesn't actually seem that difficult if I can find someone with a scan tool.
