Not An Ordinary Abs Fault

[geezwayne]

Hi all need some help on an ABS fault light in a celica st185 1990, it has been to the toyota dealer and there are no faults on the computer, have been around and cleaned all the wheel sensors. The light is acting kinda like a charge light and it goes out as you rev the engine, its got a new Battery, and the alternator has new brushes and is reading a good 14.4V, anyone got any ideas or come across this before.

Ok so no one got any ideas yet, I'm thinking maybe a short to earth somewhere and I am starting to follow the wiring loom from the main engine fuse.

Ok so I got it sorted, turns out that when the radiator was replaced they forgot to bolt the two relays for the abs back to the mount on the radiator so it was just hanging free and had been rubbing against the alternator pulley eventually wearing through a connector and causing an earth, thats why the engine revs were affecting the light.
