Hi
E36 M43 12/1996
So my brakes are 100%, I replaced rear speakers( just swopped them out with 4" audison speakers), Drove off and while braking I noticed the brake pedal went in further at low speed than usual then a weird knocking noise came from the pedal and the pedal seems to be trying to push outward(only at low speed), brake pads are barely 3 months old, disks are just under a year old and no ABS warning light on dash. So its doing this weird knocking sound and trying force the pedal out with no effect on braking force(braking force is normal). Guy told me brake pedal travel sensor (he drove it and he is a mech), replaced it and still there, so a month later I disconnected the right speaker ( cant remember why) and boom it works 100% no knocking pedal takes less force to brake at low speed and feels stiffer, so im driving with a disconnected speaker, been to 2 auto-electricians, 1 says control module needs replacing(did not make sense to me) other one says go to BMW, phoned bmw Paarl, E36 is too old non of them has worked on 1, I must wait for the manager. So any ideas at all?
My speaker boxes does say ABS on them, but like I said new speakers are fitted in the box and top connector is plugged in (no change at all to connectors or wires cut/spliced). Put the old rotten speaker back into the car on the right side and still knocking and pedal goes in further at low speed. Diconnect only the right speaker and boom works fine. Please help.
*Update* pulled my headunit (maybe wires touching there) and put orginal BMW Business RDS in activated with my code and connected speaker did not resolve the issue although alot of other things started working like the ignition ding noise and other noises the car makes, unplugged speaker and then worked so headunit and wirering is not the problem since oem headunit has connector. Put all the oem speakers back and still no change.
