Re: ABS Sensor

[Craig <craigs@nac.net>]

Jeffrey,
I share your pain. 2 Months ago I had 4 new tires installed on my '87 5000cstq
and when I was driving home, the ABS sensor light came on. After repeatedly
pressing the button, the light kept coming back on.
The tire clowns somehow dislodged my ABS sensors. They replaced them and now
life is merry.

p.s. tell them you work for the post office, kind of scared them just a bit.
