Mine went out a few weeks ago and after checking all the fuses I took it in to the dealer. I suggest you check your fuses first and especially check the box inside the engine compartment on the right side near the firewall. Mine had water trapped in the bottom as the drain had gotten plugged up. How water got in there in the first place is still a mystery. Anyway several relays (including the ABS relay) were corroded along with wires and connectors and they relaced all of them for 170.00 in parts and 320.00 labor.

I think it's a doable DYI job but I can't give you any help there as I wasn't leaning over the mech.'s shoulder when he did the work. Hope this helped.

Happy Holidays and Good Luck!
