I have a 98 V6 MTX (great car, except . . .)
I've been struggling with this problem since the winter. Everytime the ABS kicks in for more than a few seconds, the #3 fuse blows (controls the blower fan switch as well) and the ABS light comes on. If the fuse is replaced (I've gotten very good at doing this) then the code clears itself and the light goes out. I've had it at two different dealers to no avail. The last time the dealer said there is a service bulletin to up the fuse from 60A to 80A.(which he did for $100!)
Now when I stomp the brakes (on gravel) the ABS works for a few seconds then quits and the light comes on. However, with the 80A, the fuse no longer blows. Turn the car off and on again - the ABS light is no longer on.
Apparently I'm getting a 1095 code when the light is on but that didn't seem to mean anything to the mechanic. I've taken it to two dealers and been less than satisfied. (I paid one of them $500 to find a loose fuse - another sad story)
I am sure I do not have the only Tour in North America with this problem. Anybody out there who can shed some light on this?
