I've had my abs light on for over a year now ever since I had my springs installed by a sponsor of ours. It's been a problem in the winter with all the snow we got this year:D.Seriously though, at times when it was snowing up north I had issues driving in blizzards this year. I took it to a mechanic and he replaced a sensor but it hasn't helped. The problem is now since he's tampered with it (for a second time now), the light will come on only whenever it snows outside or if it rains really hard. I park the car and after awhile I will start the car up again drive and it goes away, and randomly come on from time to time only when it snow or rains. It's been baffling me for awhile now:rolleyes

wheel speed sensors don't mean a thing when you mess around with the suspension like that... it's the wiring you need to look at! The sensors are just the sensor that goes into the spindles unlike other cars which have a wire pigtail attached
the ABS wiring from the wheels to the body are separate pieces on the 3... if your idiot mechanic didn't bother disconnecting and moving the wires out of the way, they can get knicked or stretched... and if they didn't bother reinstalling the mounting brackets for the wiring, the wires just flop around and get knicked... I seen it before, and I'm pretty sure you have a wiring problem!
since ABS is a safety thing, I would NOT have him repair the wires... I'd make him REPLACE them with new ones instead... his damn fault he screwed it up in the first place!
