   abs light is staying on, even with key out of ignition,
   what could be causing this,
   i have no engine in yet, and the loom is not earthed, no altinator connected,
   but surely the abs light still shouldnt be on, so guessing i could have a loom issue????????????????

   Sounds like a weird one to me, shouldn't have power when the ignition is off. You may have had a short and fused something together(has happened to me on an impreza), best would be to have a good general inspection see if you can find anything and report back.

   yes light goes off when battery disconnected,
   everything else works spot on, no issues, think i shouldx just wait till everything is wired up, then if it still happens can check things then.
