    Hey folks! I have a 2003 prius that is missing the relay that goes in "ABS Sol" spot in the fuse box closest to the windshield but under the hood. I think the last mechanic who worked on it took it out to test and never put it back... Am I suppose to have a solenoid there and what does it do? In some pics I looked up it's not there and in others its a big green guy.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi SJD,

    The "ABS SOL" socket on my 2001 is empty also. Has been as long as I've had the car. No trouble with the brakes. I would guess it was intended for some optional feature, feature they changed their minds about, or feature on some other car that would use the same relay box.

    Cheers,
