Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting why did my abs light come on?

hmm, in the past few days the shuddering and noise hasnt really been happening but the light will still occasionally pop up. i'm still gonna check the sensores. i was thinking there might've been some crud there and might've gotten knocked out from driving

My ABS light also comes on while driving in wet conditions, during the winter months and after getting the under-side cleaned in the drive through car wash. If the light turns off while in these conditions (my light does go out without shutting the car off sometimes) and I turn on the AC or the Defroster the light kicks on again. I don't see why the AC system would be tied to the ABS system. I told my mechanic buddy about this and he thought I was crazy until he saw it for himself. We were driving down the road, no ABS light. I turned knob to AC and about 1 second later the light is on. Other than wires being shorted together he had no explination for what might be causing it.

Any one else see this one before?

i know it sounds funny man, but check the 3 large, yellow fuses in ur fuse box under teh hood, just check em out, dont ask why. this would help me too if it is.

i've been trying to figure out which fuse is for the abs

ABS light coming on in wet conditions sounds like CLASSIC wiring harness deterioration to me......
