Recently, I reported on brake repair on my W-20. When driving it home from the shop, the ABS light stayed on. Called the mechanic at Reeder Chevrolet in Knoxville who said the the ABS connectors could be loose. Crawled under the rig and both fronts were tight but both rears were not. Pushed down and "clicked" them into the assembly, cleaned all four connectors, checked the ground wire at the main ABS assembly on the rail near the left front tire, started it up and the light stayed on. I took the rig for a ride and the light went out at 15 mph.

ABS problems are frustrating but thanks to good advise from the tech at Reeder, we were able to "fix" this problem easily and learned something too.
