hello to you
hope i can help
when you got the flat,the abs system detected conflicting information from your wheel speed sensors therefor put on your abs light on.
heres a few ways to turn it off ( i hope or ill look a t**t):quiet:
sit in the car,turn the ign on and off about 6 simes for a few seconds at a time then start the engine and drive it for a few yards and it may go off.
or you can disconnect the battery leave for 5mins then reconnect it (the light still may be on) then drive it again for a few yards an it should go off.

Yea it goes off once the ign off and on but comes back on when i brake comin up to a junction/corner etc. Gonna get some brake fluid tomarrow hopefully and if that dont work get the brake discs/pipe lines looked at.

Anyone else have an idea why it might be on

I wasnt joking about adjusting the switch by the way. A few people here have had this problem and from memory, it turned out that the brake light switch needed adjusting.
