ABS Trac light problems -Elephant in my dash 850

I second the motion.

Victor repaired my abs control module two years ago and it still is in fine shape. He includes pictures and instructions on removal and reinstallation.

A few words of caution are in order. First the E-5 torx socket is generally required. After purchasing it from a place called WIHA tools somewhere in Minnesota, I found that I had torx 10 screws in mine. Look before you buy. Make sure you are loosening the screws or bolts in the right direction as I over tightened (rather the loosened the first screw) and had to cut it off with a hacksaw. It cost me another $10 for Victor to patch the plastic corner of the unit back together (lefty loosey--righty tighty).

PS: You are not alone. This is a classic Volvo 850 repair due to a defect in Volvo engineering and manufacture. Why do you think they changed the name to the car to S70 so fast?
