Default ABS fuse - where?

Hello all,
My ABS light remains on (1992 4x4 Cossie) and I was told to check the fuse. Now the hand book says that there is an additional fuse block under the dash at passengers side; I can only find about 4 relays (with attached fuses) clipped on to a piece of plastic. Can anyone tell me if there is a fuse block under the dash or are these relays etc the ones I am looking for.

I want to look at fuse before I take out the wheel sensors. Any help appreciated guys.

I've got the bottom of the passenger dash out on mine and I only have the relays you mention clipped on to the side of the ECU.

Deffo no blade fuses under mine?

The fuses are behind the dash, I doubt it's a fuse, more than likely it's either a faulty or dirty sensor or dirt ingress on the pickup rings.

Thanks guys, I will check out the sensors but, as a matter of interest, where are the fuses behind the dash? How fo I get to them? Like saphcosmike says I have 5 relays with attached fuses.

They are behind the passenger side of the dash. Ecu relays and fuses. Take the glove box out and your see them.

Yea, ive seen them ok. There are 5 relays with fuses attached to them. I know one of them is for fuel pump cause i had a problem with a loose connection on it a few months back. All fuses here are ok anyway so i guess its clean the wheel sensors. I read elsewhere to disconnect one at a time and run the car.
