Help! I have a 97 coupe...Tried leaving the battery pole off overnight, didn't help. Sensors on brakes seem intact... brakes work normally-(haven't tried panic stop!) any thoughts?

theres a main electrical connector in the rightside of the engine bay for the abs...mines was disconnected ....maybe you can check that.
