ABS Control Module Location

[LongTallTexan]

I've searched and could not find exactly where the ABS control module was located.

I took the panel off from the drivers side and looked around and couldn't find it.

Then I tried again, upside down with my head in the footwell.

And there it is!!! Right????

Right behind the headlight switch.

Looks like two 10mm bolts holding it in.

I take it the relay is on top and you have to remove the unit to get at it?

By the way, the ABS light comes on upon start up and never goes off.

Well I figured out the dash panel comes out and there is the access to the ABS control unit!

Had unbolted the unit from under the dash.

I was trying to figure out how to unconnected the unit so I could pull it out.

Then I realized I could just reach in and unclip the relay.

Then I was able to get both hands in just enough to unplug the relay.

Taking it apart, yep, fuse is blown.

I had some 30AWG wire so I rewired and soldered up the fuse.

And now the ABS light is off and I need to go out for a drive to test that the system is working.

Quick trip around and, "Houston we have ABS!"

I've got Wilwoods on the front, and the balance is not good without ABS.
