    Why is the ABS warning light on?
    Just changed out wiper motor, did tuneup-when I restarted our vehicle the ABS warning indicator came on and stays on. Not sure if we need to redo the brakes or if the light just needs to be reset? I have a 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan I am trying to get road worthy to give to my kids and this is just one more set back :eek:

    So long as you didn't disturb the ABS system (knock a connector loose or pinch a wire or pop a fuse) while doing the tune up or wiper motor, the ABS light is coincidental.
    Go back and look closely where you were working and see if any connectors got loosened by mistake. Check the brake fluid level, too. Sometimes that can trigger the ABS light but it usually turns on the red light as well.
    If you doubt what is wrong, you may need to take it to a shop that has a scan tool so they can retrieve the fault code and steer you in the right direction.
