Could it be brake pad rattle? It's pretty common on the back
This has happened on all 4 company Pumas. Very common. Anyone know a quick fix? |

| Thanks for the wiring diagram... I assume this is all under the drivers seat, will take a look. I assume the timer has failed completely. Will post the results. |

Thanks,
