SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
STARTED MY TRUCK, HEARD HUMMING NOISE FROM UNDER DRIVERS DOOR, ABS LIGHT CAME ON. SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND THE HUMMING NOISE CONTINUED. HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET IT TO QUIT. WHEN BATTERY IS RECONNECTED THE HUMMING NOISE CONTINUES. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP, THEY UNPLUGED THE FUSE. I APPERENTLY NO LONGER HAVE ABS. I CALLED CHEVROLET (FILE # 05941718) THEY SAID THEY WOULD PAY 30% OF THE $625.00 MODULE. I STARTED TO CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER SILVERADO OWNERS, IT SEEMS NUMEROUS OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LOCKING UP AND NOT RELEASING. *AK
