ABS pumpmotor relay

My 1999 Blazer's ABS system has died. I've had it apart enough to know the pumpmotor relay is no good. IS there any way to externally wire a relay in? I think I can see how to wire the relay. It's the feedback signals I'm not sure about. Whose brainy idea was it anyway to make a relay nonreplacable? THey want $1000 to replace the valve block. Hogwash.

Boy, I must be brain dead. I meant to say my 96 S-10 ABS has died. In which case this is the wrong forum. My apologies

I was thinking about my Blazers gas guage problem when I typed this.

no worries.

Can't you go to the wrecking yard and get one?

THe pump motor relay is one of those things that is guarenteed to wear. ANy car in the junk yard will also have a worn relay. THis is such a major hassle I'd rather get a new relay so I can get some life out it. Besides I already checked and used valve blocks are still $200. just to replace a $5 relay. For the want of a horseshoe......

So what are you going to do, kill 1000 for this job?

I guess live without it and be very careful in the winter

get a used one that works.

The nothing or everything mentality is a little concerning.

Right on! Before I dropped a bundle on a brand new one, I'd see what was available at the Auto-recyclers (They're not Junk yards anymore)
