    Another ABS light

    I just started the VX and the ABS light stayed on.

    Crap Crap Crap Crap


    hopefully its a sensor or something.

    otherwise........

    does anyone have an ABS Module for sale?

    Thanks for the heads up.

    I knew about the 98-02 trooper part sharing, but I did not know the origin of manufacture.

    Assuming its the ABS module, I went ahead and tracked down an abs module from a '99 VX.

    It's sitting at my feet right now, for $150. Sure beats the $2,700 ($2,400 from Merlin) that I would pay for new.

    I have an appointment on Saturday for my mechanic to grab the code and see if in fact it is my module.

    I've now had my ABS light come on and go off twice in the last few days. Course the fist time it happened it was after I had driven it in a total downpour it came on the next morning. It went out after it had sat for about 2 hrs. Then it came back on yesterday and went back out after sitting about 4 hours. Not on this morning. Big rains in Orlando as I type.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    My ABS light has been off and on for the last year or so. Not sure what to make of it other than neither of my grandfathers had ABS.

    Glad this came up again, we were just talking about this last night and wondered if the module was the same as the trooper......could you read of the # on the module from the troooper and see if its the same # for the vx?

    I got the code checked to make sure I wasn't wasting my time. It appears the module will correct the problem. As long as the one I got from the scrap yard works.

    However, since the only true "problem" is that the ABS light is on I have disregarded it until I have more time. I will hopefully install the part soon, but most likely in the spring.

    That's between you and Jamas. Cause when my light comes on (ABS), I'm gonna fix it and when it goes out, I've fixed it.

    Sounds familiar. That's the method I use with the TOD check light.
