ABS/TC lights in my 95 SE have been on for a few months. Car is at dealer today; advisor says mechanic told him it's often a bad ABS module. I think that's true, but it could just as likely be something else (sensor, wiring harness, etc.), right?
Currently: HVAC fan still blows heat just fine, although A/C is dead. The other day, I pulled these fuses and all looked fine: #7 (30 amps), #3 (60 amps), R11, and #9. Also disconnected/ reconnected battery. ABS and TC lights are still on.
What should I do/try?
1) Replace #3 fuse with an 80 amp fuse?
2) Flush/refill the brake fluid? Would doing that now have any chance of resolving an ABS light? What's a reasonable charge - 50 bucks or so?
3) How can I find out if the problem is a bad ABS wiring harness (which would fall under the 10yr/100k wiring harness warranty program)? So far, I have NOT asked the dealer to do the token wiring harness inspection-- want to save this bargaining chip until I already know a harness(es) is bad, to make sure dealer replaces them if/when I ask them to look at it.
4) Get someone to pull the codes for me? Running a scan tool would be informative, but I don't have one. I think someone in SE Mich could probably hook me up and someone offered a few weeks back, but it didn't materialize.
The car does NOT have an extended warranty, so if I can't resolve the problem cheaply, I guess I'll have to do without ABS and TC because I'm not paying the $2,200 the dealer quoted me.
