<E28> Flaky ABS, part deux



With the recent snowfall in my part of the world, I've had ample opportunity
to test my '86 528e's ABS, repeatedly. It works. I've felt and heard it work.
I've felt it work on just one wheel and I've felt it work on all four wheels,
but it doesn't work but once in a great while. The vast majority of the time,
on slippery (snowy, icy) roads, I'm able to lock all four wheels up solid and
slide as long as I like without a peep from the ABS. Once in a great while,
usually shortly after starting out on a trip, before the end of my driveway, I
can get the ABS to activate, once, maybe twice, then it's just like 'normal'
brakes for the rest of the day. Somebody please tell me there's an easily
replacable $15 relay that wears out...
