A member named SJS posted that he had a plug wire too close to something and it caused the problem you're talking about. If you don't see something obvious the plug wires are close too, then PM him and ask.

I think he was talking about the ABS motor assy near the master cylinder.

I Pm'd ya. I'm 100% sure its that, if thats what your telling me. If it was working fine before the install than thats it. Just make sure your plug wires aren't touching any harnesses against the engine bay walls. Keep them closer to the motor and it'll go off. No need to reset the comp or anything.

This may sound crazy but on TAs' the third brake light is out it will trigger the ABS inop light on the dash. Check to see if the light is blown. This has happen to me.

If the light is on, then a code has been stored, and therefore you can scan it to find the problem. Guessing isn't going to help - the code will.

Also check the fuse in the driver dash panel. I used to get an ABS INOP light and it turned out the fuse was blown.

IT WORKED!!!
what you have to do if something like this happens it take any spark plug wire that is near or touching the abs wires and move them away. they are blue. thanks S.J.S.
