ABS lights dashboard stay on i checked abs harness was ok. what is the other cause of this..

wow no year car, now that is a challenge , no?
abs is first.
first- first are brakes.
abs stuck on key on and running full time right?
so check brakes for damage or worn out.
brake fluid level not falling? look yet? look when checking oil every time.
abs can not work on cars with bad brakes, (its not god like)
then check for ABS sensor damage and its wires. under car.
then scan the ABS. got errors, sure you do.
but what? you didnt scan it first.
or read the manual> RTM?
its only 4 bucks to read it.

answer year and read.

What lights stay on ? Back lighting , warning lights -check engine - abs-air bag etc...

What lite stays on? If it is an ABS lite, check the wheel speed sensor harness for damage or not connected at both wheels.

If the ABS light comes on and stays on the ABS system self check has detected a fault. Scanning the ABS system for trouble codes will help identify what the problem could be. Most often it is a bad wheel speed sensor, loose wheel bearing, or a broken wire in one of the front harnesses to the speed sensors.

Any time the ABS light is on the traction control light will be on and the system will be disabled.

The ABS light is on because the ABS computer has detected a fault either in its self check if the light comes on at start up and stays on or when the vehicle is moving, the light will come on at start up then turn off and then come back on after the vehicle is moving.

The best advice I can give is have the ABS computer scanned for codes. This will give a good direction to head into to solve the problem. A high end muti-function scan tool or a ABS specific code reader will be needed to do this.

Once you know the code(s) post them and I'll be happy to help you further.

Some common problems I see on these are speed sensors and bad harnesses for the front speed sensors. sloppy front wheel bearings can also cause the ABS light to come on.

A bad speed sensor can cause the light to come on and stay on. There is a way to check them but you will need a good DVOM and know how to use it.

Let me know if you have any further questions and i'll be happy to answer them.

If it never goes out than it suggests there is a failure in the abs system during it's sef check. Every time you start the vehicle the abs does a quick self check. If nothing wrong is detected the abs light will goe out shortly after starting. If a fault is detected the abs light will stay on. Some common failures that cause this are a bad abs sensor and broken abs sensor harness wires. You can visually instect the harnesses to see if any are broke. You can use a DVOM to check the sensors. The quickest way to identify the problem is have the abs module scanned for codes. This will identify the problem and give you a better idea of what direction to head into.

You have some wiring problems shorting out that is coming from the dash board so if you or anyone you know how to use a multimeter to check the wireing harnesses plus check any connectors that might be just very touching the connector of dashboard which means a bad connection to dashboard.

Fuse 12 (10 Amps) may be burned out. Its located in "Junction Block". Losing
fuse 12 would kill the ABS systems and light the ABS dashboard light.

Fuse 11 (20 Amps) may be out. Its located in "Power Distribution Center". Losing fuse 11
would kill the brake lights, and light the ABS dashboard light. If fuse 11 is blown,
check your (3) brake light sockets for shorts of any type, or fuse 11 will just blow again.

Here's your ABS Indicator Light wiring diagram:

Sounds like you have a problem in the front brakes or a front wheel speed sensor. A common cause for a Traction light is a faulty front ABS wheel speed sensor or harness. When the Anti lock brake computer sees a problem in the ABS syetm, it disables traction control as well.

Hi, You should check for a sligt break fluid leak from the break light switch (attacked to the master cylinder). Yeah, I know this seems strange, but on my 2001 this leak caused all types of problems with lots of dashboard indicators. The leaking switch was a recall for Ford Trucks, but not the minivans. Hope this helps
