Chasing ABS light -Solution-
I've been chasing an ABS dash light since I bought the car. Initailly was a relay that needed its contacts sanded.
Then light would come on after driving 10 feet. It was a bad rt. front sensor. Open circuit. Hard to find as it was the early version. 928 int'l came through on that one.
Then driving along and I would go maybe 2-3 blocks and light would come on again. Pulled all sensors and ohmed them out and they checked ok.
Ignored it for a month, then decided to deal with it today. Pulled the rear pin connectors apart and cleaned them, put them back together and no more warning light.
Moral of the story, even if the connectors look fine, there may be some corrosion that you can't see. Clean them!
