My wife's 1996 850 Turbo wagon abs light stays on most of the time. I've checked all the brake shoes for excessive wear and have bleed the system a few times. I also checked the wires going to the sensors and they seem fine. When I bleed the system the light stays off for a few days the comes back on again. What should I do next?

I have the sme issue but mine stays off in cold weather... comes on in warm weather, clearly a electrical resistance issue arising from a faulty ABS ECU... one thing to keep in mind; I had the dealer "check" the computer code and it showed the failuer to be a right rear wheel sensor.. and thats common.. the wheel sensor isn't bad the ECU is and sets that condition in the computer. The dealer said it's almost never the rr wheel sensor (and Bay 13 confirms) it's the ECU setting a bogus code!
I am just living with mine. Till I can find one on Ebay!
