Default ABS/Brake light on...

I had the rear diff sensor replaced 3 times within a couple months.
It came on today so I figure hey, they just fixed it, take it back and they should fix it for free. I was waiting in the waiting room for a couple hours when they came to me and said the sensor was good, much to my amazement.

Finally they figured out the problem. The ABS control module was "soaked" and caused ABS/Brake light and speedo to jump. They had to get a pressurized hose and get all the water out and dry it off.

I purchased an extended warranty not to long ago because mine expired through chrysler contracts, and it says the ABS controller is covered under warranty but since it wasnt broke it doesnt cover it. Lol go figure!

Bill=375.89 that includes 89.99 diagnostic. So learn from my mistake, all 3 hours of it and 375.89 worth of it.

Something about that sounds like BS.
