Re: ABS repaired, lights still on. What next?

Matty Moo, you Da ABS Master. It WAS the locking mechanism. The shell was closing but the sliding tabs that lock the plug weren't sliding. They SHOULD close and lock automatically but mine didn't.

ABS repaired, lights still on. What next?

I've got a 98 S70 GLT that had been showing abs/ tracs lights intermittently for a few months.
