THE EBCM OF THE ABS HAS INTERNAL SHORT, CAUSING THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM TO STOP WORKING. THIS OCCURRED AT 54200 MILES. THE SERVICE WRITER FOR THORNTON CHEVROLET LITHIA SPRINGS, GA. STATED THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE EBCM WAS $1000. THE ABS WILL NOT WORK WITH OUT THE EBCM. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE 1999 SILVERADO AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT GMC EXPENSE.*AK

MY WIFE BACKED OUT OF THE GARAGE AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. SHE PULLED BACK IN TO THE GARAGE AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. SHE HEARD A "MOTOR RUNNING" SOUND FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. I BELIEVE AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THAT THE ABS CONTROL MODULE HAS SHORTED OUT. PULLED THE FUSE CAUSING THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS TO STAY ON. VERY DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS FAILURES OF THIS MODULE WITH NO RELIEF FROM GM. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST APPROX. $1000.*AK
