Good evening. Here is the latest news in the saga of my Cherokee ABS
problem.

I took my jeep into the dealership where I bought it today, for the
mechanic to inspect it and decide whether it does, or does not, have
ABS fitted. I was expecting a prolonged agument with the mechanic
along the lines of "That's the ABS", "No, that's a spark plug", "Well
that must be the ABS then", "No, that's the fanbelt" so I went along
armed with diagrams of what a jeep ABS should, and should not, look
like. However, it was fortunately not necessary and the whole thing
was quite painless. The vehicle was inspected by their No. 2 mechanic
(not the guy who looked at it three weeks ago and told me the ABS was
working perfectly), he admitted after inspecting it for 2 minutes that
it didn't have ABS, the salesman was very apologetic, they are going to
speak to the dealership owner and let me know on Monday what they are
proposing to do to put things right. I'll let you know how it turns
out.

I really appreciate all the help from this newsgroup, Billy Ray in
particular, and it just goes to show the advantage of like minded
people putting their heads and thoughts together. Thanks.

I would consider myself one of the luckiest men on earth if my
newest car came without Antilock Brake System! I know for a fact that in
extreme fear, I was able feather my brakes enough to bring her back to
maximum traction, without panicking.
