[V6-12v] Anti-lock Brakes

[David Torrey]

I think I may have found the problem.  There is a
ground wire attached to the ABS hydraulic pump in the
engine bay.  I loosened the nut holding the wire and
re-tightened it.  Started engine and no more light and
the diff is not locked.  I drove a few miles and
everything is fine.  We shall see.
