Specify what kind of problem you have and what repairs have been done so far...we'll see what we can do for you...Paul
Have you had it taken to a dealer or qualified shop that can scan the computer for any trouble codes for the ABS system? If so, what diagnosis did they come up with and why didn't their repairs solve the problem according to them. Sometimes, a fault code can be triggered by a simple bad connection in the harness at the wheel speed sensor especially if you live in areas where they salt roads in winter.

The trouble with ABS systems is they are very complex and expensive to repair so unless you take it to someone with a great deal of experience with them such as a dealer, it can get pretty costly to just replace parts without checking the system properly included resistance checks at the connectors. Ask the tech if they are ASE certified in this type of repair if possible and another good suggestion is to call the local trade school where the tech's are trained ( a service manager can tell you where this is) and speak to an instructor or master tech about the problem.

Send more info and we'll take it from there, Paul

If what you consult from is the sprint indicator flashing on ABS it o.k. could be a sensor as they get grimy and/or corroded and supply fake indicators. in undemanding terms a wager as you do not supply sufficient specifics.
