Default 1993 244 ABS problem, need advice.

When I press on the brakes, at any speed, I can feel the pulsating of the ABS working.

The ABS bulb is good (lights when starting up the car) but does not come on after the car is started which supposedly indicates no ABS faults.

I removed and checked and cleaned the front sensors and blew compressed air into the sensor hole (a quantity of dust did blow out). I have not looked at the toothed wheels on the front wheels though yet.

Still the brakes are pulsating.

Any suggestions/experiences on how to proceed would be appreciated.

are you sure its the ABS and not a badly warped rotor? Take the ABS fuse out and drive it and see if it continues to pulsate.

Thanks for your advice!

OK, removed the fuse and still the pulsations when brakes applied. Pulled the hand brake and tried to stop and still the pulsations. Inspected the rear pads and rotors and it looks like the rotors need replacement. I'll post the results after I change the rotors.
