Default ABS and Trac light on...

Hello,

I just had my factory air suspension changed out to Megan coilover. Everything seems to be working fine except my ABS and Trac OFF lights do not turn off. Has anyone encountered this?

Default ABS wire

Does anyone have a diagram that shows where the ABS wires are?

is the front driver fender liner worn so that there is a hole where the all those taped up wires are.

it happened 2 me from the tire rubbing against it on every dip/bump. it started 2 strip the rubber isolation on the wires leaving the wire bare. and 1 of those wires was the wire to my abs which triggered the abs light.

i put electric tape over the bare wire and the light went away

I'd try that first personally, to narrow it down.
