Subject: Anti-Lock Brake Malfunction Light Comes on Very Aperiodically
   Date: Tue, 2 Jan 1996 00:53:08 -0500

The "ANTI-LOCK" warning light in my 94 M Edition comes on about once every 
couple of months, stays on until I turn the car off; possible comes on a 
second time next time I drive, then goes away for a month or so?

Any esperience/suggestions?

BTW: Have noticed articles in paper that Major Insurerers will/have dropped 
discount for owners of ANTI-LOCK brake equipped cars.

Claim experience has proved to be no difference (read less) for anti-lock 
brake equipped cars.  The theory is that since people are not used to the 
pulsating sensation that one feels when they activate, that people defreat 
them by trying to pump the brakes or take their foot off because of the 
unatural feeling.  The correct way, of course, it to apply pressure and 
maintain it (read STOMP on it and HOLD it in in an emergency).
