How can you put in upside down? it wouldn't fit.

Well you said some were upside down in your opening post, so that's what I meant.

The "different way round" you were on about.

You have my interest, please explain.

It's my understanding that the dirtier the brake fluid is the more likely the ABS sensor is to get get fouled.

I would be disconnecting battery before touching abs fuses, and at a minimum not have key beyond pos 0, otherwise could end up with events logged -
I always disconnect battery before touching air bag/seat tensioner systems

I did take them out when the battery was disconnected, Fuses were ok.

brake fluid doesnt come in contact with ABS sensors, they are mounted externally and just sense when the wheel is locked up during braking

Nah, the ABS sensors work using reluctor rings which are open to the air, you can get issues with ABS pressure sensors but they are in the pump.

My mistake.

I'm crossing my fingers it was due to my battery, I want to get myself a nice desk not pay out for the car :rolleyes:

You need to work on your understanding.

the google search I (we) had made showed it was credible .. depending on which abs sensor

Did you read the article you found?

Where does it mention dirty fluid, I read it twice and can't see it.

logical corollary - google

A mechanical float level sensor can suffer failure due to contaminants restricting the movement of the magnet containing float.

I think i will say its a sensor on its way out Friday and Saturday was fine no ABS light, Today the ABS light is on.
