Good morning Spook,

In trying to find the fault in the ABS warning light, I, too, flowed all the solder joints to no avail. I then connected my ohmmeter to the input connection for the ABS light and traced point by point through the printed circuit to the light until I found I had crossed the break in the circuit. I had to scrape off some of the protective 'varnish' in places in order to test the circuit.

I found a break in the circuit at the bottom of the cluster where the flex PC folds under, as I recall. The break was under one of those plastic 'fingers' which hold the flex PC down. I scraped off the PC trace on each side of that finger and soldered a jumper wire across the two sides of the finger. That took care of the problem.

Hope this helps.
