Key Features & Benefits

This little guy basically provides power to the ABS module – that’s the anti – lock braking system. It's a connector, a housing, and some internal wiring all in one. It takes the 12 – volt power from your car’s electrical system and gets it to the ABS module so it can do its job. It handles the electrical connection, keeps things sealed up against moisture and dirt, and ensures a good, reliable flow of electricity. Think of your ABS as needing a constant supply of energy to monitor wheel speed and control braking pressure. This socket is how it gets that energy. It sits right where the wiring harness connects to the ABS module itself. It’s part of the electrical system that allows the ABS to kick in when it senses a wheel locking up during braking. It's honestly a pretty simple part, but critical.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this socket fails, well, your ABS light will likely come on. More importantly, your ABS system won't work correctly, or may not work at all. You'll notice if your brakes feel different – maybe they grab more easily, or you lose some of that confident stopping power, especially in slick conditions. It's a safety thing, plain and simple. Replacing a failing socket is a lot cheaper and easier than dealing with the consequences of a brake failure. You can find these pretty easily, even on sites like Fixparts Online, and they’re usually a straightforward swap.
