When I start my car up after is has set for a little while the brake light is on even when the e-brake is down and stays on for a little while and goes off. I tried the "bomb" test and i pumped for 30 times and the pedal never real seemed to get hard. Also after I pumped it and started the car the light came on again for a short period, may 30 second to a minute then went off. Is the bomb bad or do I have another problem?
Also, after I changed my H&R springs the Anti-lock light stays on now and it will go off but if my car is parked on a slope it will go out but once I move and level out it comes back on. Any suggestions where to look or what to replace?

i have the same problem and my rear right caliper was frozen, i remember whan i replaced my pads ,the piston barely went inside
also the e-brake cable might be sticky, i've heard that s-cars are known for that

ABS problem will usually dissappear

Next time remember to remove ABS sensors before mucking with wheels or suspension.

How hard is it to remove the sensor? Do I just grap it with some pliers and pull? Also, what is disk brake grease? I have never heard of this before.

Thing is the light will come after during start up even if the e-brake is not pulled up. I am going to get some brake fliud today and top it off and see if this helps b/c I noticed this morning that the level is close to the min line. Could this cause the problem as well?
