anti lock light on
Well finally got around to trying the blink method again. Starting to drive me crazy. No blink at all, might have flickered a little maybe I was starring at it and imagined it who knows. Tried pulling both fuses under the hood to at least kill the light no luck. I guess wishful thinking on my part. It's the only light on the dash so I figure I should at least clear it then move on to other things. I don't guess if I happened to fix the problem by cleaning the sensors and making sure there pushed all the way in will make the light go out? Is there a reader that will read the 98 abs codes or is that a dealer only thing? Thanks
My codes were 2-6, 2-8, 2-12, 2-14, 4-12, 4-14, 5-12, 5-14, 6-12, and 6-14.
2-6 is faulty stoplight switch (I have since replaced it) and 2-8 is “No voltage to ABS solenoid valves – faulty valve relay or wiring”. The rest are left and right front sensors too much gap, bad wiring, high resistance, or no output.
I tapped the the front sensors down and my light went out for a short time but then came back on and now it occasionally goes out after driving a short distance but mostly stays on. I also usually get a "kick" of the brake pedal when starting and sometimes during low speed braking - I can both feel it and hear it when it does this.
I haven't checked the codes again since re-seating the front sensors, but I suspect they will be the same front sensor codes as before. What I did do was cut a little circle of blue masking tape and stick it over the ABS light so it is not so bright at night.
Sounds good, I'll try it again today after work. Might just cut the wire leading to pin 5 and 15 and touch them together. I think I'm not getting a good connection when I try with a paperclip or a piece of wire. I think my plug is also upside down where as 16 is on the top left and 1 is on the bottom right.

I've thought about buying a OBDII splitter from Amazon so one half could be set up with a switch for ABS codes and the other half for connecting my Ultragage. I am not too worried about the ABS light being on after reading all the problems some folks have had with it not braking at low speeds; still it could be useful if it worked correctly.
That's a good idea to try using some straight wire to make a better connection. I tried tapping into the wires cutting the insulation off the wires (wire 5 was black and wire 15 was white with a pink stripe). Still no change so I'm thinking that there must be a relay that goes somewhere in there. I might pull all the relays from the passenger feet and see if anything changes. Well I read the horror stories bout the brakes myself, lots of factors involved I'd like to fix it right.
