We cured my friend's "light show" by removing the ground stud (passenger side next to the red postivie cap), cleaning the paint off the fender under the stud and reseating the ground stud. This is the ground connection for the ABS sand brake light ignals.

Thanks for the response. I did that today but really have not gotten a chance to go for a long test drive to see if it will last.
I will keep you guys informed if it works for me.

Thx,
Claude

Air in brake lines.

ignition box/spark plug wires playing havoc with ABS control center.

Guys,
I have ~50 Miles on the car since I did the following stuff this weekend and the problem has not come back yet.

I changed my plug wires, I was going to do them anyway since the weather was nice. I noticed 2 of my wires were burnt pretty badly and replaced them with the Over the 'SIDE' valve cover looms and Taylor wires.
I also cleaned all my Ground, The ground next to the Positive ground terminal block was filty. I took it off sanding it down, cleaned off the screw, nuts and all the terminals.
I also check all my other grounds and cleaned them too. I also pulled out the front ABS sensors on the Front driver and passenger side wheel and checked them (they were clean) so I replugged them back on. Also checked the battery and disconnected it to clear all codes.

50 Miles and So far so good. The light show stopped. If it does return, I will check the rear ABS sensors and also bleed the the brakes.

I wanted to thank everyone for thier help and also wanted to post my results (so far) just incase anyone has this same problem. They could do some of the stuff I did and fix this annyoning problem.

Thx,
Claude

Do you have any pictures of this setup? I have OVC style setup and I really dislike it.

I dont have any pics of my own....but you can see them here.
I think these were better for my application because with a blower, I have to vent one of the PCV to atomosphere and add a Valve cover breather, hence I have no room for the wires on top of the valve cover. I really like this set up, it makes it REAL easy to run your wires without making them touch the headers and get burnt.

Check this link and scroll about 1/3 the way down, you will see both the OVC and SVC setup.
