RABS valve

Where is the RABS valve at and what does it look like?

Inside of the drivers side frame rail, right about at the front of the drivers door.

It will have a brake line in and a brake like out and an electrical connector on the side of it.

I found it thanks. I didn't not realize my rear brakes never worked. Can I just bypass it? With a brake hose.

I just bypassed it with a hard line.

The fittings take an 11mm flare nut wrench and are 1/4" thread. I used 2 1/4" unions and a 4" piece of 3/16" hard line with 1/4" inverted flare nuts on each end.

I left the RABS module on the frame rail and left the electrical connector plugged in, as with it unplugged you will get a RABS light on the dash all the time.

WOW I was not expecting a list that detailed of how to bypass it. Thanks I should have waited longer to read your post before I went and bought a new RABS module. Anyone know what RABS stands for? Rear Anti-lock brake system? I could not find the part by searching by RABS but did find the part and its name is ABS modulator valve. Hope this helps someone else. I am now pleased to report my brakes work like new. Thanks Sasquatch_Ryda it was one of your old posts that I read and learned about what the problem might be and you helped me fix my truck. Thanks again.

Yes it is for the rear anti lock brakes system.

I couldn't be bothered to spend the $100 or so dollars to replace a part for a system that doesn't work worth a damn anyways. The 10 dollars I spent on fittings and a chuck of brake line seemed like the better option.
