Q: ABS lights come on with bell noise
My Lincoln has 100000 miles on it. I have a problem that happens intermittently where the ABS lights come on and it makes a bell noise. It doesn't happen all the time, but every now and then. A shop I took it too diagnoses it as a bad ABS control module. The part is discontinued and expensive if you can find one. Does it have to be programmed before installing?
