I was driving my '94 Nissan Quest for about 10-12 miles around town, I heard this horrible scrunching sound when I applied my brake. When I took my foot off the brake, I heard the horrible sound as well. Yes, I felt the 'drag' when I continued to drive. I took it in to mechanic and it went up on the lift. Front left wheel was not turning freely, but other 3 tires seemed ok. Mechanic replaced the caliper the next day, but that didn't fix the problem! He checked 'the line', whatever that is, and ultimately said the ABS module needed to be replaced. Very expensive at $1200. My Quest only has 120,000 miles and I love this vehicle, but geez that's an expensive investment for a vehicle worth about $1500. What if the ABS module is replaced and that doesn't fix the problem? Why wasn't a light showing up on my dashboard? A few years back, my brake light came on and it was an indication that I apparently needed new brake pads at that time. Is there anything else that could be causing this problem with my front left tire/brake? I live in San Francisco and grant it, car repair is expensive here so I guess I understand the high cost for replacing the ABS. Please provide any information that you think might help me.

Thanks William! I checked with mechanic and yes the abs module can be \'had\' from the junkyard. Actually, you can\'t get a new ABS module for this 94 Nissan anymore. So I don\'t know why the figure of $1200 was even brought up? It does creep me out to spend $600 (labor and ABS module) for a junkyard part, but I guess that\'s the way things happen today. Knowing me, I\'ll be paranoid about driving it on the freeway after this so-called junkyard part is installed. I\'m so depressed about this :( Thanks William!

I forgot to ask him why there was no light on the dashboard... too late now as I'm taking it in on Wednesday. I forgot to ask him why there was no light on the dashboard... too late now as I'm taking it in on Wednesday.
