My fiancee has a '01 Blazer, recently thew ABS system is faulting
somehow. While driving and coming to a stop, once I pess the brake
pedal, there is a very loud grinding or banging noise, as the vehicle
stops the peddle pushes back toward me. sometimes at this point the
brakes dont engage or engage very sluggishly. I gave replaced all the
pads and still the problem exists. if I disengage the ABS system by
unpluging the wire harness on the unit, the car brakes fine.
Any Ideas on fix and on cost? Thanks in advance.

 Probably a front wheel speed sensor, 1 or both are bad.....

  2000 Silverado sized sensor item cost $62 wholesale each or $110 GM
retail each...

    Plus labor......

I got a recall notice for mine ('00 Silverado)... I would check with a
dealer for recalls, first.

IIRC they recalled back to 99.  Not sure which models though.

I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
