k i will take a look at it..could this also have s/t to do with the abs/vsc sensor as well? isnt this where the sensor is located? i was looking at wiring diagrams & sensors & it seems as though thats where its located. oh by the way my abs/vsc sensor is broken due to my lower ball joint breaking on me, maybe this could b part of the prob as well..thanx spl freek, i will take a look...
