ABS light on

I was driving thru a construction zone last night and hit a couple of good bumps. The ABS light came on and will not go out. I didn't have time to look into it last night, but has any one else run across this problem?

You need to get the codes from the system.......not sure how to do that on an 86 so do a search of the archives and report back once you get the codes

Check the sensor at each wheel. You may have knocked one of them loose.

Another easy-to-check item is the wiring harness connections and relays next to the ABS pump. The pump is located under the hatch behind the driver's seat. The relays are on top of the ABS pump. Just be sure everything is plugged fully in.

As it turns out, the fuse was blown. A simple solution to the light but I wonder why the fuse blew in the first place.

Thanks to all for their suggestions.

There's a fuse for the ABS? I've gotta check mine in the morning... hmm. Mine's been coming on intermittenly.

By the way, not a bad idea to pull the 4 sensors and clean them. Took a few minutes each in the front and about 15 minutes each in the back (had to remove the wheels)
