Anybody heard of a ABS controller fail? I never heard of it. Mopar wants
something like $600 for a new one. Used one is $175.00 not to tuff to do the
math. Opinions welcomed....It's on a 97 JGC Ltd

 

It may be a simple connection:

and an axle's brakes shut off?

Very rare. It's far more likely the connector has
become contaminated. My 93 has had this problem
four times since new. All due to road grime
buildup in the connector. I need to build a shield.

Try this first.
1) disconnect the negative battery cable
2) remove the ABS computer connector

3) remove the connector shell and clean the connector
with contact cleaner.
note: be very careful, contact cleaner eats paint
I've found it handy to remove the airbox lid
and filter then set a plastic bag in there with
some paper towels
4) pack the mating side of the connector with dielectric
grease
5) reconnect the connector and the battery.
