ABS motor pack

[PrtyBrd94]

Ok guys. I found out why the abs inop light is coming on. the abs motor pack is bad. they're wanting 460 bucks to fix this. is there anyway i could do this myself, or would it just be best to swallow my pride and let them do it?

thanks,
bill

Just checking, but are you positive that it's a bad ABS unit. Two things that come to mind that will trip that light are a bad alternator, and a blown brake light (especially in the spoiler). Just a thought. I've had both trigger the ABS inop light in my Camaro

yeh. i'm sure that's not it. i've heard of those, but i just changed my alt and replaced all blown bulbs. plus, the abs is indeed inop. [img]smile.gif[/img] plenty of rubber on the road verifies that. [img]smile.gif[/img] the computer told the story. it was the pack, at least i hope. thanks though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

later on bud,

You could always buy a used one from a camaro/firebird junkyard - it surely won't cost so much... Simply replace it yourself and bleed the system?

how hard of a job is it to do it yourself? my haynes manual doesn't tell how to do it so i got skeerd. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well getting brake fluid over everything isn't fun, it will quickly eat through your paint and thats not cool. Aside from that, its as simple as turning a few screws, draining the block, disconnecting all the lines, and installing the new one... Then of course bleeding the entire system.

I would imagine it would take a good 6hours to do since its pretty time consuming - although it isn't very "difficult".

sounds like a job for the service center. [img]smile.gif[/img]
