Hey Catman!
We are currently discussing how to change the ABS module from 4 line to 3 line. Right now we know that you can install a different brake light switch for a NON TC car  This way the ABS still works, but the TC does not

JayMatta,
I really have not seen a pattern of failure on these. I thought they would fail under the duress of racing, but I have only seen one failure out of 20 some odd Boxster race cars.. so I threw that out.. :lol:
Most of the failures I do see involve cars with 60-70k miles on them, and it appears to be heat related (air temp 100+ and ground temp 115+) which would equal REALLY high engine compartment temps. This is the ONLY "common" denominator so far.

I wonder if that would work on a 2000 standard?

$771 to replace the ABS module!! Not good. Now we are looking at the wiring connector to see if it is a PIN change from one module to another Could be as simple as removing a pin from the connector!
