A quick brake question…

My 2wd saff had a problem, where the pump was not getting a feed, basically the fuse box was melted and generally buggered! I’ve changed the loom, put new relays in for the abs, now I have brakes again but the abs light still stays lit up on the dash? Can anyone tell me how to check the sensors (this is the first car I’ve had with abs so I’m a complete novice to these systems and how they work so an idiot proof explanation would be handy ) or any other ideas to what it could be

Did you get this sorted?

No not really sorted yet, went to have a look at it on Saturday and the light went out for the abs! i thought that was a bit of a touch – warmed it up then went to go for a bit of a tear up, and as soon as I give the brakes some proper use the light came back on! I just got it home and two fuses blew! I replaced the fuses and no light again – drive it for a while and it came back on!(normal driving this time) I’m thinking there might be air in the system cos the brake pedal feels very juddery and also when I was slowing down to a virtual stop at a set of traffic lights it felt like the brakes released and then applied again ? The car has got 330mm discs on the front with standard calipers, I think the juddering brake pedal is warped discs, but I’m gonna re-bleed the brakes at the weekend first! The way this cars going I’m tempted just to break it up!
