[QUOTE="ddbell, post: 460141, member: 25321"] It's a 2013 Rubican Unlimited. The company that makes the module went out of business. Some ABS part numbers you get now, some you can't. I think the part numbers might vary within model year too. I've talked to 2 dealers and also a Jeep specialty shop. They all told me March-June 2024 at the earliest based on my VIN #. [URL='http://Upfix.com']Upfix.com[/URL] can rebuild a lot of ABS modules too. However, I called and gave them the part number for mine they told me they couldn't rebuild that one... lack of parts for it probably. I did find a youtube video where a mechanic showed that a very common failure for ABS units is the solder joint for the power pin breaks off on the circuit board. He said that was the most common failure for many of the ABS controllers and simply resoldering the joint fixes it. This seems to make sense for mine too because it would run fine for weeks at a time and then just kick of for weeks at a time. It did this intermittently for a few months before it just kicked off permanently. So a bad solder joint makes sense to where it may have intermittently contacted but now it isn't contacting anymore. It's not like I can break it more so I will probably try to pry open the unit to see. [/QUOTE]
