Did you try to drive the car after assembling the ABS system, as this could be necessary to force the ABS light to go off.

[rs gus]

no only short distances

Are the pump working? How is the pedal? A common fail, is the pressure switch on abs unit, you got hard pedal and no brakes

[rs gus]

pump primes and stops pedal is perfect

[grcossie]

Are the light comming on just when you start or do you drive before it turns on?

[rs gus]

from the start

after having it apart have you plugged the drivers front sensor into the alarm switch plug by mistake its a common fault as they are thesame plugs in the same area check that 1st

I had problems with mine. The plug of the dash dimmer caused it once (was un plugged )
2nd time was a fault with brake light switch. ( try starting with brake peddle pushed down to see if it goes off) I replaced brake light switch and it worked.
Just a couple of easy ones to try.
