Call jeep dealer with the vin and see if you can get the work done on it, my cousin had his done for free last year, 1800 in parts and labor for free!

But if it were me i would tear out the abs as suggested, its garbage.

I let him know about the recall, their going to call Monday about it. Thanks for the help. I had a 90 waggy but never really worked on it so all the "old" stuff is alien to me. I love my 98 lol.

I used a product called ID Red, but it's basically a brake cleaner. On the really corroded connectors I physically cleaned then with a small file or some sandpaper.

Don't forget your ground points, and I also disconnected the battery negative to clear/reset the computer. Not sure if that actually helped, but it made me feel better.
