I got car wash last week with an under carriage spray. The ABS light came on immediately and has stayed on ever since. The are no codes stored. I installed a front locker (Spartan) two days ago and the front ABS sensors/connections looked OK.
I'm just wondering if anyone had this happen and found a quick fix, before I start digging into this problem. Thanks.

If the light is on, then the abs has a fault code. And the code should lead you to your problem area

OK, thanks. This happened once before and it went away in a few days. I guess I'll wait for a while longer and see what happens.

Check all the relays and fuses, there's like 4-6 for the ABS alone on my '92 in the engine bay fuse box. Could've just been an exposed wire that got wet and shorted out.

I'll pull/clean and re-seat the fuses/relays this morning.
