The ABS light in my wife’s car goes on and off intermittently with no apparent pattern. The car has about 47,000 miles on it. Any ideas? Bad connection, computer going haywire, loose or corroded wiring? Thanks! ---

You can get the codes read and this will give you a place to start. ---

Have you checked your brake fluid level? ---

The brake fluid level is right at the MAX line. The light didn’t go on when I drove it about 10-15 miles today. When it goes on, per my wife, it’s for 10-30 seconds and then it goes off. Maybe it’s a wheel sensor going bad, or something electrical after all these years.
