Orillia,

This used to be FWD 1990 Laser M/T, 4g37, n/t, no ABS, no A/C, no C/C, etc. I swapped the 4g37 out for 4g63. The donor was a 1992 Eagle Talon, FWD, M/T, 6bolt 4g63, n/t, A/C, C/C, no ABS (I believe = 99.9%). I did a bit of electrical work to make the swapped 4g63 run. I got a lot of help from yous guys.
rewire 4G63 el. connectors to fit 4G37 connectors
The frame on the 1992 donor Talon collapsed from rust but everything else worked. I actually drove the car about 1/4 mile and it ran fine with no lights ON on the instrument panel. When I pulled the engine out of the Talon, obviously I had to take the axles out, and had not noticed any ABS wires or sensors nor any extra brake lines, ABS pump or anything like that under the hood. Thus, I am 99.9% this car had no ABS brakes.
The last piece of the swap was yanking the 1990 instrument cluster out and replacing it with the 1992 Talon cluster. As soon as I turned the key ON, the ABS light came ON and stays ON now permanently.
I'd like to get rid of the ABS light.
I know some of you funny ladies will suggest I get a black electrical tape to match the cluster backdrop and tape over it. I could do that.
Or I could yank the cluster out (yet again) and take the light bulb out. That's a possibility too.
Needless to say, I'd like to turn the ABS light OFF like a pro
Anyone would know where the ON/OFF switch is?
