Okay, so our mechanic replaced the wiring harness under seat...fixed problem for 1/2 day. Now the light is coming on every now and again and the ABS traction problem is occuring with every stop. It is getting much worse. Now the car actually slides some when stopping instead of just pulsating. And the brakes seem to go all the way to floor before really engaging. He suggested that we could try to fix it by changing another one of the hubs, but I don't want to do that, don't really think it will help. He said that when the wheels are on the computer, they are actually registering that they moving at a speed of between 5-15 MPH when in fact they are sitting still. So he still has it, not sure what today will bring. Will keep you all posted!

Thanks for the update...let us know if this seems to work, it may be our only option at this point also. When they bypass it does the ABS still work or do you lose the ABS all together?

When they bypassed the bad/broken wire(s) the ABS system should have been enabled, it should only fail when the connection isn't there.

Yes the deal insured me that the bypass "band-aid" was good fix and that the ABS will still work

Well I had the car into my local mechanic again and gave him all the info I found on the web regarding the ABS problem (check wires, connectors, etc.) He claims the wiring all checks out OK. He disconnected the wiring at the computer and put it on a scope and spun the wheels and the sensor appears to be working fine even though the computer reports a wheel sensor error. His recommendation was to replace the ABS computer at $900 new or $300 used. I told him to go ahead with a used one which will be installed this Monday 7/2. I will keep everyone posted on whther this changes/fixes the problem.
Thanks.
-Gary.

After our 10Hr tip to Canada car was fine. Then the next day after we got back the ABS light came on. Called the deal up said they think it is the computer. But after they replaced with a known good computer the error still happening car still in the shop after the 4th time in months time frame

We got ours back and they can't fix it...said we would have to go directly to the dealer to have the computer replaced. After hearing that didn't fix yours, I'm leary of that too!
They have tried everything with ours and nothing will stop it. The ABS problem has gotten much worse, and is really quite scarey...I really don't know what to do at this point.
Took the car to a dealer who said it would be worth about $3,000.00 and we owe $14,000.00, there's a reality check!!!
And yesterday the radio faceplate went completey out also...so now I can't tell what time it is or what channel I'm on, much less what number song is playing on a cd.
Please post any other info. on the ABS, hopefully we can figure this out without another major expense.
Thanks!!!
