    I'm pretty sure that the black part and the silver parts are sealed from each other. I was under the impression that the black part was just coils and electronics. I didn't think there were any moving parts in the black part, and no exposed parts on the silver part. But then, that just begs the question of how this guy's 'fix' did anything.

    I think he just lucked out and the lights will be back on in a few days.

    The black part is a pack of solenoids, wound coils of wire the act on the ABS pistons. The failure is one of the coils burns out or a wire breaks. You can determine this with a DVM. I've never opened the coils themselves, it may be possible to rewind them.

    but where's these "chambers" he's talking about? Are they on the face of black part, only visible once it's separated from the silver part?

    THANK YOU ERIC, SNAGGED THIS PIC FROM YOUR GALLERY:
