Where is the central informer....
... and where does it earth?
For a couple of years (yes, I'm very slow) I've found that if I use the horn, it will often cause the ABS and traction warning lights to come on. At lunchtime, I made a mistake approaching a roundabout (my fault), had to use the horn and then had major stopping problems because my ABS had switched itself off and I panic braked. So, I think it's time to fix it.
I have previously tried cleaning up the earth on the horns and in the luggage compartment and this hasn't fixed it. So I'm wondering if I should check the central informer thing - perhaps the problem is there? But I have no idea where it is, or where it's likely to be earthed.

Well after an hour or 2 searching I can confirm that my 96 RHD 993 actually has the central informer on the right side behind the dash just below the ignition switch - so position 6cM - and very awkward to access the 2 securing nuts.
