ABS Control Module Dead

[GIRL HOG]

1996 GMC 2500.  ABS control module has died.  Mechanic says they do not make new modules anymore.  I looked around on-liine and was unable to find one either.  One from a junkyard would just be another 25-year-old module.  Any thoughts?  Thanks!

junk yard , or ebay are your only two choices there, they dont make them or repair them anywhere

It wasn't much trouble to bypass the one on my 94 C1500 but it was a RWAL (Rear Wheel Anti Lock) unit that only affected the rear wheels. I'm not sure about the '96. You might look into it.

Well shoot.  Thanks for the input.  I never really liked the ABS when it worked because it would engage when I drove over a bump in the road - very annoying.  I only miss it now when it rains, which is not very often here in Southern California. 

 

I guess the black tape I put over the now permanently illuminated ABS light on the dash is the only fix.  Thanks again!
