Abs And Brake Light
I HAVE A 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH THE 4.3L 4 WHEEL DRIVE.
THE ABS MOTOR RUNS ALL THE TIME SO I PULLED THE ABS FUSE. ANY IDEAS ON THE PROBLEM WITH THIS.

The ABS module is shorted internally. I ve seen a ton of these, if you ask me its a stupid place to put it!!

Repair it right, Don't replace.
Fix it. IT can be repaired for $100 which includes all labor etc.
Indeed a stupid place to put the ABS computer. The OEM pump motor control inside the ABS computer is a 75amp rated electronic switch that literally self destructs. It is not a matter of "if", but "when". The new aftermarket part that is installed during the repair process is a 104 amp 360 amp surge rated device that should put an end to the "pump running forever" nonsense. There is about $40 worth of hardware in that box including a mid 80's era intel processor. I can't believe they want (and are getting) 800-900 bucks for those things. Anybody know where I can get a hold of a pile of these shorted out ABS controllers? What do they do with all of the "dead" ones? Last edited by Gavin Curtis; 08-03-2003 at 05:52 AM.

The TRASH. I don't think GM asks for them back like they do other modules but I'll check.

Find a trashcan full of them and make me an offer. Actually one or two lying around will suffice and more as they become available.
