Default ABS warning light on

My 1999 AU shows the ABS warning light on the dash. The brakes are still OK and the ABS still works OK. I'm 2 hours from a Ford dealer and the local mechanics just throw their arms in the air saying "no idea!"
Anybody out there got any clues before I have to take a trip into town?

bit of black electrical tape over the light?

Check the connectopr under the drivers and passenger seats, if they are plugged in just unplug the then put back together.

what, for abs? pull each wheel off and check the "tone rings" they are part of the hubs, basically a notched ring with a sensor at one side of it. make sure these aren't dirty or broken. there will be 4 of them, 1 on each wheel. then go from there
