Brakes problem
1998 Dodge Caravan 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
I own a 98 dodge grand caravan se model.We just brought this vehicle.I found out that some one pulled the light for the abs.When i put in a new light bulb the abs warning light came on and stays on.I went to the garage and ask about the abs system and he told me that everything is ok.never but it on the scanner to see.He also said there is no rear antilock brakes just front ones.Is this true?what could be wrong with this sysytem?They passed it with no light or not saying a thing to us about it.Should i put the lightbulb back in and take it back to them?

I would put the bulb in and have an independent garage diagnose the problem, then bring the bill to them and give them the choice, fix it right, or money back...or COURT! System is 4 wheel ABS, early 90's had rear antilock, but no one had just front! You have the Teves mark 20 system on your van, it's four channel, and is a split diagonal system, meaning the primary side is right front and left rear, seconary is left fron, right rear. Good luck! If the seller was this shady, you might want to check the air bag system while your at it!
