ABS light on

in wiring a 7pin trailer harness up i had to disconnect the factory wire harness under the driverside door. When i had everything complete i started the vehicle and the ABS light was on. Is there a way for me to reset this. Im guessing its on because i disconnected the harness.

Can we assume you plugged the harness back together under the driver's door?

Did you try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes?

Yep. I plugged them both back in. I used pin 8 off one and pin 12 off the other to wire the batter charge and reverse light wires to the 7pin harness. These wires didn't pass through beings i didn't have the factory 7pin harness.

i disconnected the batter for 20min hooked it back up started the engine. ABS light still stays on.

Being in a rush I forgot to disconnect the battery. Little mad at myself. Wondering what i shorted out.

Do your brake lights work?
Is your e-brake on?
Any blown fuses?

e-brake is off. i set it and reset it to make sure it wasn't partlially engaged.
I checked the ABS fuse #16 and its good. pulling it and turning the ignition to ON the brake light then stays on. put the fuse back in and key the ignition ON and the ABS lights stays but brake light goes off.

If anything im hoping its just the ABS sensor or the code needs cleared. I'll stop by an AutoZone or Pep Boys and see if they can run the code for me.

If anyone has the trouble shooting tech guide for ABS that'd be cool.

Update and Fix!

Autozone doesnt read ABS codes.

While driving to Autozone the ABS light went out and hasn't come back on. Apparently after disconnecting the rear wire harness all that is needed is a short drive for the ABS wheel sensors to reset.
