With your '99, the ABS generates the speed signal
used by many of the systems in your car, including
the transmission. You really should get it fixed:

Since you have already split the case open you really need to resolder the connector pins, all of them but particularly the large pins that power the modulator pump, if you really want to do it yourself. You may have had a loose capacitor but that would be rare. The failure point is always at the connector pins.

I can't find the original Capacitor I purchase 2 the same size with $ 0.15 cents but the problem is I can't find the loosed capacitor location I looked with magnifier glass every 1/4 of inch,How do I find the schematics.
The Dealer, Sell me remanufactured ABS for $950.00.
Thanks for your Suggestions .

You won't find schematics since they are not in the public domain. As has been suggested, you can send the module to Midwest ABS and have Matty rebuild it and test it for around $75.00.

There are some other rebuilders as well. Victor Rocha and Module Masters come to mind but they are typically more expensive than Midwest. Once you start trying to change components on the board all bets are off though. There is only so much butchery the rebuilders can deal with.
