ABS breaking braking.

I once had a Lincoln Town cat and the ABS started to malfunction. I was told at the dealership that it would cost what the car was worth to fix it. I soon after located the ABS fuse removed it and my ABS problem. Here is the question. Is the same thing possible with these 3g Maximas?

well i dont no of how much help this is but if the actuator goes bad, get it at the jy for like 60 bucks and put it in yourself then bleed the brakes after your done. I just did it today in a couple hours on my 92 gxe. It was nice to do it myself...

My power steering pump was making nasty noises a few days ago and when I checked the fluid level there was none. I poured in about half a quart and when it mixed with whatever was in the lines it all turned black but at least it wasn't disappearing. I have no idea what happened to the old fluid.

mine was acting up (first pulling the power for it for a second would fix it)
but lately that wouldnt even do it so i gave it the fonzie (hit the top of the unit like a juke box) did the trick,and i also bleed em out for good measure
i was able to crawl under and leave the wheels on and still bleed em with a tube and a water bottle and for the front i turned the wheel and layed under the front
.....i want to get some self bleeding caliper NIPPLES oh,and a new PETCOCK(another name for radiator drain)and some solid BALLjoints and some HOSE and if theres time
a used TRANNIE (dirtier the better)...maxima parts are so dirty
