[s-cars] ABS troubleshooting? UPDATE

[Harold McComas]

Finally had my Eibach springs installed and had Status look at the brake 
issue.They scanned and got,  trying to read Tony's notes : EDL switch out, 
valve R/F N166 (something like that). Anyways, he said it was either the 
wiring grounding out or the ABS computer under the seat. He is leaning 
towards the ABS computer. Right now trying to source one. Should be quick 
enough to check once I have one in my hands.
