Default why does my ABS work only once in awile?

the last storm we had before Christmas my ABS worked fine, just like it was suposed to. But in yesterdays storm ABS did not work at all all 4 tires did lock up, i am sure of that. Also today it is not working. Is a dirty sensor the only thing that could cause this? I dont have an ABS off switch if that matters.

thanks

Default When you start-up, does the ABS light come on on your dashboard?

Maybe the previous owner disconnected the ABS light and it's been on the whole time, IF the ABS light doesn't come on when you start the car. It's a yellow/orange light, as I recall.

Otherwise, yeah, dirty sensor. Had that happen to mine, except the light came on.

Good Luck.
