Default ABS problem

It is a 1988 90 Quattro, 2.2 (KV). The abs off warning light is on the whole time and the switch will not put it back on. I checked the relays on the abs unit and they seam ok. Would a dirty of out of place sensor cause this? Or would it just mean that there would be no abs at that individual wheel?

Default Cleaning sensors is usually the first step ...

If it's getting a funky signal from any of the sensors it will switch itself off.

Does it come on as soon as you switch the ignition on, or after driving a bit ?

The light is always on, from when i turn on the key. Do I just take out the sensor and clean them with a cloth? How about the tip of them?

Default Try the fuse under the dash on the ABS relay

10 Amp fuse the only one sticking out of any relay (similar to a fuel pump relay). Under the dash by the drivers left knee.

In a sensor problem the light will come on only after driving a short distance.
