SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE ABS PUMP CAME ON AND STAYED ON. EVEN AFTER I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THUS, THE ONLY WAY TO RECTIFY IT WAS TO UNPLUG THE ABS. IN RESEARCHING FURTHER, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL THE 1999 SILVERADOS. WHAT CAN I DO OTHER THAN SHELL OUT $1,000 TO HAVE THE PUMP REPLACED? SHOULDN'T CHEVROLET ADDRESS THIS?
