If you have the opportunity get the CDL functioning or installed, that will take your worries away, the above box does a great job, ive used it several times due to squeaky brakes which the harmonics can set off the amigo's. Having a functioning cdl and the traction control running at the same time is a great combination.

If the lights come on because of the contact problem within the ABS module does all the functions still actually work?

My 3 amigos are intermittent, sometimes they are on as soon as I turn on the car and sometimes when I use the brakes, sometimes without using the brakes at all.

I understand that the Option B fix will eliminate the contact as a fault source, Im not confident about pulling apart the ABS module.

Fix it for good with Option B from the link below.

Thanks, dont have the cdl , its a 01 model , can you do a full install ?, wondering would the cost be worth it ?

a hour or two searching on here might be worth a lot of $$$$

You may have the internals and may only need the external actuator hooked up (Hopefully).You can find out looking up vin numbers.
Quick find out is get under the car and at the front( drive shaft) of the TC case bend your hand and arm

up on top of the case and feel around for 3 nuts shaped in a triangle pattern with a spigot in the middle, if you find this your in luck, if not, you will have to shop around for the internals.
