My "anti-lock" light continues to stay lit even though the anit-locks are working fine. Any ideas how to turn the light off without going to the fr&^%*n d****r?

Mike,

I my case and a couple of others on the board this ment that the break switch was just about to go. Go and pick one up from the d****r and replace it or you could be left stranded when you can't get your vehicle out of park. Do a search for break switch for mor info, including a work around when stuck without a new switch.

I just spent $600 bucks having that very issue fixed. It turned out that I needed two new rear ABS sensors. They are $200 each.

"I just spent $600 bucks having that very issue fixed."

When it happens again in 6 months, pull then reseat the sensors. It's a lot cheaper. The wheel speed sensors don't go bad as often as the dealer wants you to think. That Testbook is a license to print money when it comes to ABS.

Or just pull the fuse on the ABS and experience all around better braking.

Just a thought...
