That's the pad warning light not the abs light, so it's not an abs fault
The abs light is on the Rev counter
There's must be a broken wire somewhere in the circuit. Were the wear sensors replaced with the pads? Disconnecting battery won't reset it.

I wasnt sure which warning light it was 100 percent it did come on now u come to mention it before the front pads hit the discs and i have now replaced discs and pads and new sensors maybe i need to check front pad connections ill have a look tomra when im back in my scruffs and see thanks so much for youre replies ill also check all fuses aswell while im at it because rear light clusters were faulty and did blow a couple but replaced them aswell now hopefully i can get to the bottom of it easily

Had same issue with mine when I replaced the pads & disks.....one of the wires from a wear sensor was pushed out of the loom connector when I fitted it, open circuit means light on the dash....had me scratching my melon of a couple of hours.... :wink:
