Bullit if you explain how the abs light is coming on it would help us help you. Right... Does the light come on when you have the ignition on? Does the light go out when you start the car or does it stay on? Q1 Yes.. Q2 Light stays on.. I will check the sensors and clean the pickups.. Thanks Folks..
