'Here is how the ABS module problem shows up. Key on, then 3 loud beeps. Both the ABS light is on and the BRAKE light flashes. If you pull the codes on the ABS you will find either intermettent communication errors or you will not be able to communicat at all.
I just had my ABS module rebuilt by "BBA-Remaininc" for less than $100. Guaranteed for life. Check out Ebay for possible rebuilders, then investigate their reputations. You can remove the module and send it out for repair and still drive the car. Mine was repaired in 7 days including shipping both ways.
If it is the ABS module, be aware that you brakes are fully functional but have no antilock, anti skid prevention. Think like a 1970's vintage brake system.

Well I installed my rebuilt ABS module just now and it's fixed. No more beeping and flashing lights. Takes about 1 hr to remove or replace. If you leave the car apart the total time is about 1 hr. But I was using mine so I had to reassemble after taking off the module and disassemble to replace it so the total is about 2 hr doing it this way. There are direction available to show what to do. All you need is a T20 & T25 Torx bits, 10mm socket and 1/4" ratchet, and flat blade screwdriver.

Did the rebuilt have the lid cut off. (I assume this will sense if it did)

I found a couple places that rebuild, one for $129 and the other for $160 shipped. Both warranty their work. I will look into BBA as well though. Thanks.
