Unhappy Changed out battery, ABS and battery light stay on

Obviously there is a fault somewhere. Is there a way for me to clear this myself?

Thanks for the reply.

It's a 2000 C2, 42K miles. I have a Sirius unit installed over a year ago. That's about it.

The first time I drove it after changing the battery, there were no issues. The issue came afterwards.

Wiggling doesn't seem to fix...

Try a reset - disconnect the battery for 5 minutes (got your radio code). Then reconnect it and see if anything changes. You are connecting positive to + and negative to - right?

I'll go ahead and reset them. The car starts up and runs fine, so I think it's just some fault somewhere.
