Where's the ABS ECU?

Hi All,

My ABS light is always on, and last week it didn't pass the "controle technique" (The French MOT) because of that. The light has always been on for as long as I can remember - I bought this car 2 years ago, but I can't remember if it has always been like that, or if it started sometime after I got the car.

Anyway, going through the very helpful "ABS Problems" page on the E30 Zone: I have checked both relays and they seem to be operating fine. I want to remove the ABS ECU so that I can maybe buy a second-hand one and see if that works. Looked above the glove box, but I found the engine ECU there instead (BOSCH 0 261 200 173), and not the ABS ECU. So, where else might the ABS ecu be? Mine is a 1989 325i. Any help appreciated!

Thanks.

In that case the module is hidden behind the instruments somewhere.

Okay, thanks for that... I know the instrument panel is fairly easy to remove.... Cheers.
