SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
ON MY 1999 SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB PICKUP, THERE IS A CONSTANT BUZZING NOISE UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR. MY ABS WARNING LIGHT IS UP SOLID. I HAD TO DISCONNECT POWER TO THE ABS MODULE TO STOP THE BATTERY FROM DRAINING. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE ABS MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. HE ALSO ADVISED ME THAT IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE ~$1000 TO REPLACE. I CHECKED THE INTERNED AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I THINK CHEVROLET SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPLACE THESE MODULES FREE OF CHARGE.
