Take a look at the rear driver side axle.Make sure you didn't unplug the rear abs wiring. My abs light was on for about a month , and it bothered the hell out of me! To my suprise, it was only a bad connection. The connector has two prongs, and is located on top of the axle pumpkin. It was an easy fix. Also, I believe the rear wheel abs connections, have a recall on them. Check your local dealer, for more info.

That happened to me as well. My brake light went on, and I replaced my pads. A few days after that my ABS light came on!!! What a coincident, I thought!!! After taking the car to a few local shops, they couldn't reset the ABS light, so I decided to take it to the dealer for them to look into it. During the time the ABS light lid up, I noticed the brake system was not functioning correctly. Anyway, the dealer replaced the ABS sensor (cost around $80.00 plus labor) and that's fixed it. Two years later, I encountered the same problem... ABS light came on....and brakes acted weird!!! I bought another ABS sensor, and fixed it as well. Good luck... Ohh mine was a 95 Rodeo.
