Re: ABS light staying on and running
The relay is stuck, tap the top of the black box marked ABS. If you want a more permanent fix, remove the screw and you'll see 2 relays. Replace the one making the noise.

Re: ABS light staying on and running
This happened to me yesterday, and first thing I checked was the relay, found which one was making the noise then took it out. Unfortunately autozone near me does not carry them. So I drove around without the relay to and from the parst store, then when I got home I reinserted the old relay and it stopped buzzing and the ABS light did not come on when I restarted it. I'm hoping it's just a fluke and not gonna come back. But jus in case I'll prob order another relay.
I found this link accidentally, and Hope someone will find it useful, it has the updated modified relay part number. (see below, copied and paste version) http://svx-iw.com/svxiw/article/print.php?article=16 ____________________________________ ABS Relay Sticking Author: Subaru NUMBER: 06-28-96 DATE: 06-11-96 APPLICABILITY: LEGACY, IMPREZA AND SVX EQUIPPED WITH ABS BRAKES SUBJECT: ABS RELAY STICKING Should you encounter the following condition(s) please follow the trouble shooting chart as shown. The ABS Hydraulic Unit Motor continues to run and/or buzz when the ignition key is turned to the off position. The ABS warning light comes on and a trouble code "52" for a faulty hydraulic motor and/or motor relay is stored in memory. Note: It is possible for this condition to occur intermittently. Under these conditions the symptoms may not always be duplicated. Troubleshooting Steps: Check if the ABS Hydraulic Unit Motor is running or if you can duplicate the condition. If the Hydraulic Unit Motor is running, does it continue to run with the key in the off position? Confirm the trouble code, if any, and trouble shoot according to the Diagnostic Chart in the corresponding Service Manual. Replace the ABS Hydraulic Unit Motor Relay with a modified one. The new part number is 26735AA012. The new relay can be identified by a white line under the word Japan on the relay case. Note: Always check the part number supersession for any changes. If the wiring harness is at fault repair and/or replace as necessary. The new ABS Motor Relay has been changed in production begining with the following VIN's. Legacy (SIA built): Sedan: T*206647 S/W: T*308128 O/B: T*374098 SVX: T*100004 Impreza: Sedan: T*510065 S/W: T*810189 Coupe: T*410116 ___________________________________________

Re: ABS light staying on and running
I have a bunch laying around
I bought one on ebay for like $15 then i happened to find a 93 legacy and their Fuse box is nearly identical to ours. so I looted it all for the fuses and relays I can send you one if you want. I got quite a few kicken around

Re: ABS light staying on and running
Oddly, I dont think you two are talking about the same relays. The relay for the ABS which is faulty is under the black plastic cover on the ABS Unit and not in the fusebox. There is a Bosch replacement relay if I recall correctly. I may have just used another OE one that I had from the '97 parts car I had.
