Abs light blinks
I just changed abs module and master cylinder on my grand caravan 2006, but the abs light blinks? Before abs module replacement, the light was on all the time, but know blinks... What that can be?

did you diconnect the battery when you perform the repair?
there are codes stored in the Cluster (EVIC) when you replace the Cluster for "lost comm with ABS module". You need a scanner to erase it.
or try disconnecting the battery and touch the + and - lead together for few minute, see if it clears it.

You have to get the module programmed. You have to program in the tire size and possibly a few other things...Dealer or a private shop with the proper diagnostic tools will do. I just did one on a 2005 dodge durango, and had to program in the tire size and differential...

yes, the battery was disconnected during the abs installation. I will try to clear it as you said. Regarding programming ABS, I am sure that my mechanic didn't preform it. I bought a module from dodgeparts.com (if that is important) and he just replace it. When he scanned the codes, he said that he didn't receive any for ABS, so I was confused! It is logical that information such as tire pressure, size,etc needs to be imported. According to my mechanic, his code scanner is VERY GOOD AND EXPENSIVE 
, so I assumed that he can program it with this tool.

Its gotta be certain diagnostic scanners only. I know the snap on verus does it($10K) And the Starmobile with a witech( OEM, dealer) if you were close to me I would do it for a six pack....only takes a few minutes at the most...
