I've been told by two separate mechanics that the ABS controller module needs replacement; it is expensive to the tune of $1300 from the stealership. Good used ones are apparently hard to come by.

Send your ABS module to modulemaster.com and have them repair it. I just did a few months back on my 2001 Blazer, best $150 I've ever spent. No more ABS lights!

What are the indications? Does the ABS light come during the start cycle and then stay on or does it come on after reaching 7-10 mph?

About the E-brake...Is the pedal down any distance? Try releasing using the handle and pulling the the pedal up to the full release position.

I am in Tn our e-brake got stuck so we had to manually release it so its up as far as it will go. We haven't been able to drive it much as the radiator leaks and we are waiting for finances to fix it. So unfortunately I can't really say any driving behaviors but I will keep my eye out when we can.
