Yea, I know the thing to do is to swap out the system for non ABS. I work and go to school and don't have time to poke around junk yards to find a donor car and do the work of the swap.
I lost brake boost and took it to the dealer hoping it would be one of the waranteed parts. After the $85 inspeciton here is what they gave me:
ABS Pump replaced (free under lifetime warranty)
ABS Accumulator needs replacement $242
ABS Low Pressure Switch $80
3.5 hours labor @ $85 an hour = $297
Wala you get $620. Thats like half the worth of the CAR! Yea right.
SO here is my thinking. Anybody know where to get an ABS accumulator for cheap other than a junk yard? What are the chances the low pressure switch really failed? Sounds like it could be dealer BS to me. By the way where is the low pressure switch located anyone have a diagram? I can hear the pump still run so I'm thinking to throw in a new Accumulator and see if it works. If not take it to the dealer and have them replace the pump. IF the switch is easy I'll even replace that. Any advice?
