RABS Problem

Hey all, I'm having a problem with my RABS light staying lit on my 89. I've looked over all the connections, and even replaced the sensor on the rear diff. I've also replaced the fuse, but that hasn't done anything either. My brake fluid is full, and the red brake light is not on.

I've tried using the test port by connecting a length of wire to a good ground, but the light stays solid.

Anyone out there have any other suggestions? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

check to make sure the parking brake pedal is all the way up. if not, the brake light will come on.

i had to add an extra spring on my pedal to keep the light turned off.
