Recommendations for EBCM repair

I need to send out the EBCM for repair. Who would your folks recommend? Atlanta Speedometer Services? ABS Fixer? Other?
I am not handy at soldering and figure I could get a short warranty with a rebuild.
Thanks!

Never having dealt with your dilemma or any of the co's you listed, I would call them up and ask if they can fix what's wrong. Then you can check with BBB and check their reputability. Good luck and let us know what you find out.

I used Atlanta Speedometer Service with great results and fast turnaround time.

Once you remove it, the hard part is done, the rest is easy. If you are uncomfortable soldering it yourself, look for a local hackerspace/makerspace and they can help you out.
My local hackerspace has everything from welders to CNC to 3d printers. It is quite amazing and everyone there is great to work with, they do classes and all kinds of stuff.

I agree, if you can solder, should be able to repair it easily enough and if for some reason it doesn't work then can have repaired.
I was on the road at the time and Atlanta Speedometer Service was convenient for me, especially since I didn't have soldering equipment with me.

So I reinstalled the repaired unit from Atlanta Speedometer. Light came back on. Flickers on and off as the van rocks over uneven surfaces. I can even make it flash by rocking the van really hard from the driver's seat! Gonna check the ground on the chassis. Is it easy to get to? Anyone have an image or diagram?
Next up sensors on both sides. Already cleaned the surfaces and removed shims as necessary.

Rockauto fail. Sensors came but they don't fit. Harness comes out of sensor at 90 degrees. Needs to come out angle up slightly from horizontal. Anyone else have this issue?

What brand/part # sensors? Possibly rwd sensors?
I've only ever replaced with complete Timken wheel hub / bearing assemblies that come with new sensor.
