Default Anyone have an ABS Amigo for rent?

Years ago, I was a daily reader and poster on this forum, then came a divorce, and custody battle, and I dropped off. Way back when, I remember some members of this forum renting out their ABS Amigos for diagnosis of the dreaded 3 Amigos.

The 3 Amigos visited my Landy several years ago, and because they were come and go, I dove into the modulator. I found the shuttle valves tested bad, so I replaced them, along with doing the wiring mod to solve future problems.

About a week ago, My ABS light came on backing out of my driveway, and by the end of my street, the Amigos were back. I shut down the vehicle, and restarted it. The Amigos were gone....until yesterday when they began to welcome me every time I turn the key on. I checked the ground on the wiring mod, and it is good, and also verified I am getting voltage on the other wire of the mod while the key is on. I am thinking wheel speed sensor, or something else.

So, after all that info...I come back to my original question: Does anyone have a RSW Solutions ABS Amigo available to rent for a fee?

Anyone?

I have checked all of the ABS fuses and relays, and they are all good. I checked the ground on the Option B Mod, and it is good. The other wire from that mod that connects to the YG wire going to the modulator is only getting 7.78V with the key in position II. Anyone know if this is good, or should it be getting battery voltage? Since it comes from the ABS ECU, I can see why the voltage would be reduced...

There are two other options not as expensive as the Amigo know to check and clear the ABS.
