96' Disco I
I've narrowed down my 'on-again off-again' abs light to being triggered by bumps to the driver's side (not sure yet if it's front or back)- so I took out both the abs sensors on that side and cleaned them up and put 'em back.
Now the light stays on all the time!!!
What have I done?
Just what do these sensors 'sense' anyways? heat? contact? ? How do they work?
Do they correctly gap themselves in the proper position, or should I try to back them out in their holders a bit to clear this light?

nevermind...
I found this in the archives:

Arthur - ABS sensors got disturbed. Just reseat them by hand (push down firmly) - back the truck up for 10ft or so and the sensors will self gap, then just drive and light should extinguish within a mile or so.

If this doesn't work -you may have to pull the sensors up a bit before reseating. Hopefully this will do it for you.
