Oh by the by... I was just up in my shelves in the garage and discovered that I forgot that the last time I bought an ABS module (like November maybe) the yard had them for so cheap I bought both that they had.

If you still need one drop me a PM.

I have been through five junkyard modules and they all eventually failed. Wiring inside module from connector to circuit board has been bad. Soldered the thread size wires, works for a year then failed again.

Still looking for a rebuilt module as these wires seem to be a culprit every time.

Rebuild anyone?

Casey.

I say blame Bosch for the POS design.... Just another feather in my "I can't stand Bosch" cap anyway...

Not that uncommon from anecdotal posts over the years.

I searched "ABS module" in my gmail and got about 100 threads threads on the V8 listserv since 2005. Probably 25 of those were non list conversations.

Once you remove a bad one just touching the small wires from the terminals to the internals and they break right where they attach. About 2/3'rds of theses fine wires are swimming in a dielectric jelly so they can't really vibrate much or anything. Not all of them are however, and I don't think that jelly keeps them from breaking anyway but it probably helps with vibration some.

I still say blame Bosch...

One other thing of note for anyone in a rust belt state - removing the battery tray can go terribly wrong.... I have a recommended mod for it...

if these connections are indeed the culprit, is there anything to stop me from re-soldering the connections using something a tad more robust?

These wires are super frail....

Half of them are covered in some di-electric Jelly that I can't imagine you could clean away gently enought o not do more harm.

And since they are sucha PITA to repalce I wouldn't want to install it, and fail even once.
