Default Abs Question

I drive a 96 SS n im lookin to sell it in the not too distant future but natrually id like there to be no lights on, i just replaced my IAC valve so now the service engine soon light is off i need to replace another sensor so get the low radiator fluid level light off not a big deal but every once in a while my ABS inop light comes on, if i turn the engine off and back on real quick it turns off but sumtimes will come back on a little later or atleast at another time when i get in it to go somwhere, can anybody tell me what might be causein the ABS light to come on, i havent really looked at it but i dont even know what the cause might be so i dont know where to start lookin for a problem

If you find a buyer like me, then they wouldn't care at all about an ABS light. I took all my **** out. Some other causes of ABS light are 3rd brake light out, relay in the fuse box, and the sensor on top of the differential.

Go find a Junk Yard around there somewhere, there has to be one.. I had to get new Wheel Hubs, and I got them both for $60. I have no ABS, so it doesn't really matter for me, but there are cheaper places out there.
