Bad ABS issue....
Sorry for the repost, but i need help on this issue =-\
So i was working on my car today, i installed Larger Gauge Battery Power and engine ground wires, and when i was done i backed it off the ramps, and realized my "ABS INOP" light was on so i put my parking brake on and the "LOW TRAC" light would just blink... at that point i though "Wtf?" looked under the hood, and heard the ABS unit was firing on and off few times every second.
when the brake is applied with the parking brake the LOW TRAC light goes off and obviously the ABS solinoid stops, i think this is because the unit is still detecting the REAR brakes being locked. and when pedal is pushed and are all applied it detects nothing abnormal.
but, the entire time the ABS INOP light does stay on. any ideas?

Re: Bad ABS issue....
i just routed the 1/0 gauge ground and power to the stock locations, i DID pull the stock wires all the way through to the starter, maybe the ABS sensor wire got snagged, ill have to look tomorrow. thx for the idea
