Default abs light ---problems??

I was jacking up the side of my truck and
the jack slipped hitting the abs block I think
"its in front of the fuel filter" and bent it up to the
floor board.
from the looks of it, no lines kinked or broke so i bent
the bracket back down and tested it out
brakes worked fine except I had the abs light come on
and stay on
should I unplug the fuse for it so it dont do anything stupid
speaking of stupid where is the fuse? is it the 10 amp one
in the middle that says brake?

You should check and make sure nothing broke when the bracket bent. I know Mack-o-da-year had and issue with driveability when he removed his ABS fuse.

Yep and the electrical brain within is pretty expensive (it can be replaced seperetly though)

Have someone clear the code and hope for the best

No need to pull the fuse either, with the light being on the computer is recognizing that there is a problem within the system and it disables the ABS itself. You should have just normal brakes with no ABS
