Abs light on
#1
Right my abs light is on and some nice person from the past had put black tape over the bulb so you couldnt see it but this week i noticed it looked like it was on but wasnt so i took the cluster out to find tape over the bulb
now as i dont know how long its been like this and as im from the uk im finding it stupidly hard to find some one with a code reader that can read the codes .
so if i replaced parts that are the most common would the light go out if it fixed the problem ? if it would could some one please let me know what parts would be best to replace .
theres no buzzin sound from the abs unit it self so i think thats ok .
be greatfull for any help . thanks

With out a code it could be any thing from a wheel sensor to the actual ABS computer on the ABS module. It could even be a problem with the cluster. It would be cheaper to by a Code reader that is capable of reading ABS codes, then trowing $1000 in parts at it hoping to fix an issue. Other wise find a local Garage and pay them to read the code.

I had the same problem with my '00 Silvy. Originally from AZ now in MD. I researched it and I found a cheap easy solution that worked. Took 15 minutes.
There a "ground junction" of black ground wires in the frame on the outside under the driver's door. This is where the ABS gets its ground. I took it apart, cleaned all the terminal ends, rethreaded the bolt hole, cleaned the bolt and reassembled with di-grease, problem solved. Haven't seen the ABS light since.
I'd try this first. It worked for me.
