The ABS light is on all the time in my 2001 Silverado -- but it's like that because I pulled the ABS fuse. <shrug> you get used to it.
(the ABS makes it impossible to stop on icy roads, that's why I disabled it)
Huh. Don't know if you're kidding or not, but I do b'leeves I can stop on ice and snow better with no ABS than with it.
Case1: Had an Audi with a switch to have ABS on or off and in actual practice, I did better with it off than on.
Case2: My '97 Subie has not had the ABS working since I bought it and, without actual on-off tests, I think I stop pretty good without it.
This may be part of the "I'm a better driver slightly drunk than sober, so watch me beat my chest," syndrome, but on the other hand, I've never been motivated to get the ABS on the Subie fixed.
Now I may be way off base in terms of newer, faster ABS systems, but that's the way it looks to me.
