anyone got a trick to make the abs light go out as it should??

i know quite unorthodox but i dnt have time today to strip the sensors down etc

light is permanently on as it is when theres a fault

however ive tried to lock the wheels up and failed a few times
so i need some trickery to make the light go out after a few seconds as it should

any ideas anyone??
there must be somewhere i can link the bulb too that will do what i want??

cheers

Replacing / repairing the faulty over voltage relay sounds like a much better fix to me ! :eek. E30 abs is very simple and reliable and 9 out of 10 times this relay is the source of the problem.
