Default $1500 for a brake switch????????

I am trying to replace a defective brake pressure switch on a 2002 Z06. It looks like a brake light switch with three conections to it. The part number on the switch is 01X02 NKS. I am told by GM that you have to buy the entire ABS module that it is screwed into. This ABS module is on the left front of the motor and the pressure swich is on the left hand side of the ABS unit. HELP. There must be a cheaper way around this!!!

Here's a pic of the switch: http://members.aol.com/awschucks/brake1.jpg

Broken during engine work??

The modulator is made by Bosch, maybe one of your local import parts houses might be able to help you find the piece you need.

Yes,

I dropped a wrench on the end of the connector and the switch broke. The ABS/active handling block has Delphi Delco Electronics on it with a long part numer on it. They want to sell me the entire block ifor around $1500 list. I can get it at employee prices, but have trouble paying $900 for a $20 part.

My 99 buick regal has Delphi ABS on it, maybe a search in the bone yard might turn something up.
Most of those types of parts are the same, like the MAPS are used on many different cars.

I know this is a very old topic, but this might help someone.

I am fitting a 01-04 ABS to my 98. The ABS unit I bought has this NKS sensor in it, but I don't have the (unique) pigtail for the connector, rendering it useless.

I have found a parts listing saying AC Delco 10417400 was a replacement for this sensor, at least at some point. The pictures of this part show it is a Bosch sensor 0 265 005 303. I have found some Bosch documentation on this type of sensor (though not this exact one) and they seem to be very generic linear voltage sensors.

I have also found that this sensor is quite common, and some local vehicles use it.

ALFA ROMEO: 71730275 ALPINA: 34511165467 AUDI: 8E0 907 597 BENTLEY: 8E0 907 597 BMW: PC109287PA CHEVROLET: 9196400 FIAT: 71730275 FORD: 1S7T2 M118 AA GMC: 10417400 HOLDEN: 9196400 LAND ROVER: SSB 0001 40 MERCEDES-BENZ: A 003 542 05 18 NISSAN: 47240AG020 OPEL: 5530107 ROLLS-ROYCE: 34 51 1 165 467 ROVER: SSB 0001 40 SAAB: 52 33 283 SCANIA: 5233283 SEAT: 8E0 907 597 SMART: Q0014087V001 TOYOTA: 89637 07010 VAUXHALL: 9196400 VW: 8E0 907 597 RENAULT: 77 11 156 137 RENAULT: 82 01 115 891 SMART: 001 4087 V001 OPEL: 9196400 MERCEDES-BENZ: 001 408 7V 00 1 FORD: 1119026 BMW: 34 51 1 165 467 MERCEDES-BENZ: 003 542 05 18

There was also a NGK/NTK part for this: NTK 76194 BG0003

Edit: just got back from the junkyard. I picked up 3 for $10 with the pigtails. One came from some sort of early 2000s Opel product. The other 2 from a 2003 Mercedes A class (yep, it had 2 of em). It looked like a few of the other Mercedes had them too. At some point I may make a test rig and compare the voltage curves for the Bosch vs the NKS, but I cannot see how this won't work, considering both were used by Chevrolet.
