Foxwell Code

[ViperKen]

I have the ABS warning light on my dash. Scanned the codes and this came up.
Question is, is it front left looking from the front of the car, or from the rear.
Driver or Passenger side.

 

[AntStark]

Depends what country you are in . Think of it in terms of left or right hand drive. If you are in the uk left would mean the front passenger side.

Thanks for that.
Thought it was passenger side, but best to check

 

[Mint]

Agree with Ant. Left and right when you are sitting in the drivers seat.

If you decide to replace it (don't buy a cheap one) and the screw shears off and you want any help send me a PM.

Front left is front left no matter which side steering wheel is on if the car is facing forward left if still left.

Had had a few beers last night what i posted makes sense but not what i meant.

So time to elaborate

Cars globally are generally viewed for reference from the seated forward facing position or as in picture overhead so left and right are the same on any car so front left is always front left and same reference for left and right hand drive.
The term nearside and offside is different the point of reference is still the same but is now dependent on which side the steering wheel is on
So in uk we have right hand drive and with car facing forward on a road we drive on the left our nearside is the pavement side or left side of car and offside is right side of car.

In countries that have left hand drive cars with car facing forward on a road they drive on the right so nearside is still pavement side but this is now the right hand side of the car and offside is now the left side of car.

Thanks for all the replies.
Maybe asking a question on New Year's Eve wasn't such a good idea.
I would like to wish all members a Happy New Year and All the Best for 2025

I am not sure you haven’t made it worse …which is the passenger side again ?
