Re: ABS light staying on and running

This happened to me yesterday, and first thing I checked was the relay, found which one was making the noise then took it out. Unfortunately autozone near me does not carry them. So I drove around without the relay to and from the parst store, then when I got home I reinserted the old relay and it stopped buzzing and the ABS light did not come on when I restarted it. I'm hoping it's just a fluke and not gonna come back. But jus in case I'll prob order another relay.
I found this link accidentally, and Hope someone will find it useful, it has the updated modified relay part number. (see below, copied and paste version)
