    Also, link to the ABS switch?
    On for a year? My light was on for less than two days and I couldn't stand it anymore.

    Remove neg batt cable. Take apart the underhood fuse box and locate the heavy white wire under the ABS fuse. Cut it and loop it outside the box thru the relay and back. When you send power to the relay, no more ABS till you turn the ignition off and on again.

    BTW-Found this in the online manual...

    set the ABS to a
    non-operative state by removing the fuse for the ABS
    (40A). After the battery has been recharged, stop the
    engine and install the ABS fuse. Start the engine again,
    and confirm that the ABS warning light does not light.

    Mine just came on last week and has been on and off since. But like many have said, I think I like braking better with my ABS not working...

    my abs light seems to be related to heat somehow.. when it first happened, letting the vx sit overnight would turn the abs light off.. then after 6-10 miles it would come back on.. worked like this for a few weeks.. then it got really hot out (90-100) and the light would stay on for a couple days at a time.. then it was always on... then when the temps dropped to about 50-60 the light went back out and didnt come back on again for 20-30 miles of driving its now 60-70 and its back to going out overnight and coming back on after 5-10 miles in the morning.. strange!

    Mine has been on since we went to the flats. I think I may try one of these fixes.

    Yeah, mine came on after driving in 4x4 down the side of Peavine in the snow last week...I'm not sure if this had anything to do with it, but...
