i uh.... broke my ABS

when we were replacing my front-right CV axle, the Chilton's manual called for the removal of the ABS sensor.. well, it was really stuck in there, so we kinda reefed on it for awhile before it came out. Must've broken the coil or something because when we put everything back together, the ABS light came on and they haven't functioned since.

The funny thing is that when you first start the car, it takes the light about 25 seconds to come on. In those 25 seconds, ABS actually functions. I guess it would rather not work at all than partially work.

My friend has a ~'91 audi sedan and there's actually a switch in the cabin to toggle ABS... I think anti-locks can actually be some help on dry pavement, or maybe even wet pavement.. but on snow they do more harm than good..
