ABS craziness

okay, just had the ABS module replaced, a $750 item, and the ABS light came back on and the ABS doesn't work, but get this-sometimes the ABS light goes out and the ABS starts working, even when stopped! yup, it starts clicking on the brake pedal and I'm not even moving!

There is a "how to" on checking ABS codes.

Sorry, I can't help.
Mine wasn't working when I bought the car. I never really saw the need to get it working. With decent tires and proper driving, I was never really a fan of ABS.

Check the yellow connector near the kick panel. I had the same symptoms. If I moved the connector, the ABS light would go ON and OFF. I had a bad connection, so I held it together tightly with a wire tie and all is well.
Sorry my bad! This was the airbag not the ABS! Ignore this comment.
