Hmmm Help!! - ABS and EBD fault - ideas?????

Hi,

My ABS light has been on for ages now (since i got my RH lower wishbone done funnily enough). I'm assuming one of my sensors is faulty? Occastionally when i'm driving, the Handbrake light come on too, indicating a fault with the EBD. This is rectified by turning off the engine and restarting.

Am i right in thinking that a faulty ABS system could also effect the EBD?

While i'm on about the ABS sensors, how can i access them to check connections etc as its only been doing it since the wishbone was replaced?

Many thanks

the best way to work out what one or ones that are playing up is by getting a copy of unidiag (see user sears) and a cable to connect to your car, again either see sears or rarebear as they modify cables to suit and you can check the condition via that. it will also pull up any fault codes relating to the enitire ABS/EBD systems.
hope that helps and gives you somewhere to start looking
