I haven't used my Focus for the last week as I've been ill.
I got in it today and pulled off and the back brakes clonked because they've been sat for a while.
About 5 mins driving down the road my ABS light came on and has stayed on. Would this have been caused by sticky brakes?
Just thought that this is probably the most appropriate answer, and I'm only asking so I don't get conned at a garage!
Cheers!

Was looking on google, and it seems there was an article on watchdog about faulty dash clusters using lead free solder, this caused instrument clusters to short out.
I think this might be the case with mine as the mileage LCD screen keeps blinking on/off and goes really faint too.
Has anyone else had problems with their dash?

It could be crap stuck to one of your ABS sensors/reluctor rings, best bet is to clean them all up and see how you get on. If the problem persists with your cluster, id advise getting the fault codes checked because if it is actually an ABS fault, the faulty component will be identified, and if it is a cluster fault then there will be an 'internal hybrid instrument cluster failure' code in there. Although it doesnt sound too much like a cluster fault, as the ones ive looked at have all had intermittent speedos and tachos (dropping off to 0 when your driving, then shooting back up) with random lights flickering on and off etc. I think ford dealers replace these for £99 or £129 all inc if this is the fault.
