False. The ABS light illuminates and then goes out after a few revolutions of the tires. If there are no faults. It will stay illuminated if there is a fault. It has nothing to do with the amount of pads left. This is not to say your brakes are fine, just that changing them will not make your light go out.
If your check engine light comes on, there is a display under your passenger seat that will show you the 2 digit fault code.
Your "mechanic" has Chevrolet on the brain. Rovers do NOT work the same.
Oh, and there are 2 procedures for the blink code. One is across the terminals on the ABS relay (OBD-I), and one is at the data link connector (OBD-II). You are pre-OBD-II, so you can not access through the data link. You have to find the relay, pull it, and jumper there. Check RAVE for the location.

And he was not a mechanic, he was an Auto Zone sales guy. He owns a Rover, I'm not saying he should be credited but I'm just saying. He told me to place a paper clip in the blue ABS diagnostic connector (he showed me which slots). But we never did take out the ABS relay, what does it look like color wise? Do I HAVE to take it out?

I know you did, but it was all blurry and black and white. I found all the relays, but I didn't know which one it was. So I went for the one that looked like the one on the pic (green relay) and that did not work. Check my other thread called "ABS = Annoying..yeah"
(btw yeah isn't the rest of the acronym)
