My ABS has been coming on imtermittently and occasionally engaging at low braking velocities (10-20MPH) on dry smooth surfaces. I took my jeep in for a checkup, they said the ABS module needs to be replaced. $700 + labor, close to $1000 total.
Can I just have them disconnect the ABS module and expect the brakes to work normally (without ABS)? There are still many cars out there without ABS, so I can live without it.
Do ABS modules go bad on 98's often? Have any of you had to have them replaced? I'd like to hear about your experiences.
The last time I took my jeep in for intermittent ABS problems, they told me the sensors needed adjusting, and adjusted them. 2 days later I took it back, because of the same symptoms. The second adjustment fixed it.
I'm wondering if this is not another adjustment issue this time, and they are mis-diagnosing the problem.
I dont' go off road much- maybe 2 times in 5 years, and it's a casual off-road trip at that. I drive 15 miles each way to work, so I'm not really beating the hell out of my jeep.
thanks for any advice
