Where do I find my ABS pedal position switch ??? Help 850 1995

Hello

I'm a proud new owner to a '95 850 turbo and I have the problem related to this link
http://au.geocities.com/ozbrick850/abs-141142.html - I have checked my codes and 141/142 just will not go away. Does anyone know where I can find my ABS pedal position switch described in the link above??

Thanxs in advance

    The 1-4-1 is the pedal sensor, the 1-4-2 is the brake light switch. Do you have both codes?

    DTC 1-4-1: FAULTY PEDAL SENSOR, SHORT TO GROUND OR VOLTAGE
    1) Connect test box to control module. See Fig. 3. Check
    pedal sensor circuit by connecting jumper wires between test box
    terminals No. 1, 2, 21, 34, and 36. Connect an ohmmeter between test
    box terminals No. 16 and 41. Ohmmeter should indicate about 249 ohms.

    2) Turn ignition on. Depress brake pedal as far as possible
    and hold in place. Turn ignition off. Slowly release brake pedal while
    at same time taking readings from ohmmeter. It should be possible to
    observe 7 distinct resistance readings. See BRAKE PEDAL RESISTANCE
    READINGS table.

    BRAKE PEDAL RESISTANCE READINGS TABLE
    Position OHMS
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    7 (Pedal Fully Depressed) ....................... Infinite
    6 ................................................... 1032
    5 .................................................... 817
    4 (Pedal Midway) ..................................... 690
    3 .................................................... 563
    2 .................................................... 436
    1 (Pedal Fully Released) ............................. 249
    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    3) If one resistance reading is incorrect, check wiring for
    short circuits. If wiring is okay, replace pedal sensor. Compare color
    of pedal sensor spacer sleeve with power brake booster color code. If
    all resistance readings are correct, replace control module.



    For the 1-4-2:

    DTC 1-4-2: FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT

    1) Check if brakelight works. If brakelight does not work,
    check bulb and wiring as necessary. If brakelight works, connect test
    box to control unit. Connect voltmeter between test box
    terminals No. 32 and 1 (Hot and Ground). Depress brake pedal. If voltmeter indicates battery voltage, erase DTC and test drive vehicle.
    If DTC occurs again,
    replace control module. If voltmeter does not indicate battery
    voltage, go to next step and check if circuit is open or shorted.

    2) Remove 2 wires (Red and Yellow wires) from brakelight
    switch. Connect voltmeter between Red wire and ground. If battery
    voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not
    present, check wiring or fuse for an open circuit.

    3) Connect a jumper wire between Red and Yellow wires. If
    brakelight lights, ensure brakelight switch is adjusted correctly. If
    switch is adjusted correctly, replace switch. If brakelight does not
    light, ensure wiring to brakelight bulbs is okay.

    Close by the ABS pump, at the front of the vacuum brake booster. All that is visible is the connector, disconnect that, remove the clip and pull out. Oh, and remember to bleed the vacuum first (! :o) ), step on the brake pedal 10 times. There was a post on Brickboard by someone who had to fish out the o-ring with wire...

    Good luck.
