C-5
I had a lighting strike that went through my battery tender and knocked out my EBCM module that controls my traction control and ABS systems. Does anybody know where I can get an EBCM module or a rebuilt one?

It depends on the year. The earlier model EBCM is no longer available. The only options are used ones that are VERY expensive. Later models are still available for now.

Okay so hold up.
When you say it took out your EBCM, how do we know this? Is it throwing codes? If so - which?
If it does need repair, with an '03, you're in luck: www.absfixer.com
But let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater quite yet.

Thank you for your comments. I don't know if it was throwing codes or not. I took it took a Corvette performance shop and he was able to diagnose it. The problem he said was that getting the replacement module was in short supply and very difficult to get. He said I needed a late C-5 module ('03 or '04) because the earlier years were different. I will try and contact absfixer and see what they have to say. Thank you so much for responding.

If by chance your EBCM is toast and can't be repaired, you could try one of the used parts vendors (Vettenuts or aescorvetteparts) to see if they have one that matches up.

ECBM Module
I sent my ECBM Module off to ABS fixer and they confirmed that the board had been struck by lighting and could not be refurbished. He did not have another board to swap out. Therefore I am looking for a refurbished EBCM Module or the electronic board. Does anybody know where I can get a module or a board?
thanks-David

Vettevillains.com - Brian and Justin probably have a few of them.
There are a few other used parts vendors, but they have been solid for me many times.

Like that, eh? Wasn't trying to be an ***, but incorrect abbreviation terminology bothers me!! Like guys saying their 'PVC' valve is bad. Uh, NO-It's PCV, as in Positive Crankcase Ventilation, not PLUMBING!!!! And no, I'm not a teacher, and I hated English. But there's no excuse for some of what I'm seeing nowadays.....

They’re all obsolete. Knowing this I bought a new spare for my ‘01 years ago for a deal.
Look at prices, if you want a spare the time (barely) is now otherwise ‘01-04 will be just like 97-00 pretty quick. Abs fixer is only for a few limited codes.
