Some of you may recall that I had a problem with my ABS Module and sent it to Module Masters in Moscow, Idaho. They returned it fairly promptly, claiming that it was repaired. Turned out it was worse when I got it back than when I sent it to them. Apparently they DO NOT test their repair work although they claim to do a lot of re-repairs on other people's work.
I got in touch with Victor Rocha and he had one for my car in stock, which he was willing to ship to me. Problem was, he can't do credit cards directly and I have lost faith in PayPal for several reasons. So I sent him a check and he deposited it. Apparently his bank is pretty slow because I checked my account
daily and it was almost 2 weeks before it finally cleared and showed the money
taken out of my account. I cut and pasted the applicable line from my online
statement showing the check number and amount and pasted it into an e-message to
him to show him that the check had cleared. He then mailed the module to me and
I put it in today.
It worked like a charm. As soon as I hooked up the battery and turned it on the
check engine, ABS and "Stop Safely ASAP" lights went out and it is FINE now!
I will send the old module to Victor and if he can repair it he will give me
credit for the core charge/difference. If not maybe I will have him send it back
so I can see what is inside those boogers!
In retrospect if I had sent cash or money order to Victor I could have had the
module back almost two weeks sooner. If there is a next time......
According to Victor's website, he DOES test the modules in several cars he has.
That seems like a great deal to me.
My question is,
I could not figure out how to get the electric box out after I removed the air cleaner. I found one bolt that held it down to the interior of the front fender,
but could not figure out how to get the rest of it loose to move it out of the way.
Consequently, disconnecting and removing the module was fairly difficult and hard
on my almost 70-year-old back, lotsa bending over. How do you get the electrical
box out? VADIS was no help!
