    E36 318is ABS light-??ABS relay

    Got to take the 318is on a sneaky sunny drive home from the mechanics today.
    It got a diagnostic, new rear left wheel bearing, new rear left ball joint,
    New fuel filter and the rough idle fixed.
    Still got to get the ABS fixed, something to do with the ABS relay, or so the computer points to. I want to get this thing on the road and tested very soon.
    does anyone know anything about this or fixing it? Is it easy?
    Pictures, videos, descriptions anything?
    Just I don't have a whole load more to send it back in to a mechanic right now.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    abs relay think of it like a fuse in a plug too much and it goes but should be an easy fix. Pop the bonnet lift the lid on the fuse box and have a look on the underside at the diagram and it will tell you which one is the relay. Swap it out for a new one. About a tenner on ebay afaik. Might have one in the shed will check tomorrow eve after work.
