okay thanks,...might as well look for the cc amp there,.. too. It looks like it would be easy to find, shape and all.
Regarding the ABS controller. On my year and model the part has a very sturdy large double bank/row of points/pins (head) that simply slide in and out to link up. Like male computer cable heads for printers. I am thinking it might ruin if you were a bit rough with it, but otherwise...why should it be so touchy. Car is turned off. I remember thinking, wow this part looks really new. (Bosch 0055452132) I'll let you know here on this thread if it is toast when we get it back and re-install it. Hope I didn't break the rules providing a source for controllers...

...just dawned on me.
Back to the amp 'hunt'....
