    OK, just to be clear...is it safe to say that the Antilock brake black plastic circuit "brain" part (as pictured in the Ebay auction xcelr8 bought) could just be unscrewed/removed in our VX's while under the hood and then replaced with a new one, such as the 05 Durango module, and that could potentially give ABS back and work?
    Please, someone chime in and give feedback, details or confirmation.

    Well that's an added benefit...ha ha. What I meant was is this a clean plug and play swap kinda thing...couple of screws, removing the one part and replacing it with another under the hood...without soldering, touching brake fluid, etc?

    Hey nice work.

    Seems like there's only one question left... if it's the same bosche ABS unit, will it have the same failure problem?

    That's an unknown. Methinks though, if it is newer perhaps the problem has been identified and fixed...I dunno. But for me, since I ruined my stocker, a 100 alt was perfect.

    What diag/proc made you decide that the controller what your issue?

    Where do you have to go to read codes on ABS (or are they even readable)?

    CLICK HERE to see how you can narrow down what's wrong with the ABS system (and TOD and airbag systems.) Deermagnet posted this guide on how to jumper the connections directly at the OBDII port. Unless you have the high-priced coe reader you can't see it, BUT with his guide you can simply use a short piece of wire to see the same stuff.
