Default ABS Controller is fried. Going to get it repaired. Can I drive the car with it out?
I mean, it doesnt work right now anyways, but will the car drive with the controller unit out?
Thanks

Is this ABS failure related to your numerous accidents?

Fair enough. These types of items are not wear items and thus should not fail. Not after 4 years

Default Are you serious? Controller unit and pump are one piece...
and the pump is part of the brake circuit.

Default IMO, easiest route is to find someone that has a bad one to lend you
Send that one off to Module Masters and then give him your bad one once you swap them. Maybe buy him a few beers for the favor :-)

For people who used ModuleMaster, did you drive your car while you were waiting?
