On the ABS unit (the silver part) where the brake lines go in. is not letting the brake fluid go to the brakes... Something inside must have locked up?
So I guess I need to get a new ABS unit. Unless I can get it to unstick?

Our ABS (and all vehicles) has a fail-safe to allow normal braking if the ABS unit fails. The last thing we want is for the ABS to prevent braking entirely. But anything is possible. If there's an electronic problem, removing the ABS fuse should cut power and restore normal braking.
Who knows though? Weird stuff happens. Many members here have had ABS trouble, but we've never heard of this problem with the ABS.

I think we need a better description of how the brake pedal stops. Is it a hard mechanical stop or is more of a softer hydraulic stop. That will indicate linkage versus fluid issue or pre versus post booster.
