Here's a handy trick if you find your ABS relay needs replacing...The ABS
relay has a 8A fuse wire inside. With a soldering iron you can replace this
wire with one from an 8A fuse which have the exposed wire (like the ones
used in fuse box). Won't even be able to finish a beer before the job's
done. How much are those relays anyways? $45-65???

Of course, this worked for me on my E30 M3. Not sure if this type of relay
was used on other systems...
