ABS reset
I had my ABS module rebuilt by (a forum member on another forum, he's well known to do them correctly). I went to install it last night and my abs light is still solid and the brake light flashes. I did unhook the battery for about 15 minutes before turning the car on.
Is there another way to reset the system without taking into a dealership?
If it was a speed sensor, the light display would be different correct?
I think there is a ABS fuse, If I pull it, would it reset the system?
Thanks for any tip/tricks.

[QUOTE=Audisaurus;1308946]csconnect both terminals and hold them together for 3 min? thats how you clear codes[/QUOTY]
Your saying hold the negative and and posetive cables together for 3 minutes?
I've never heard of that on any car. This something Audi specific?
Usually your just able to disconnect the cables from the battery and that clears check engine codes. So this will turn of the abs/brake light too then?
Thanks, anyone else?

Last thing I want to do is cause myself more of a headache.

Make sure you know what your radio unlock code is, before you try that, if you have a stock head unit. Otherwise you'll be in the market for a new one, or paying the dealer 100 bucks to unlock it for you.

I have the stock readio code so I'm not to worried about that.

If the problem was actually corrected the light should turn off on its own, I dont think do anything above is going to help, minus the VAG COM it would be nice to scan it. Bad abs modules, bad communication to the instrument cluster, and no power to the abs module (e.g blown fuse), the abs and the brake light are shown. If an abs sensor is unplugged, or getting a bad reading, the abs light only will come on and not the brake light.

I read there is a relay/large fuse under the panel above the drivers feet. close to the steering column that is related to the ABS. I think it's visible from the fuse panel. There are a few there, which one should I be looking at and whats the easiest way to get to it?
Thanks,
