O/T All I did was buy a new garage door opener?

[Dave]

Was time to replace the old one so I started xmas eve and finished it today. Everything went smooth so I decided to go to the mother inlaws and  load up the stuff to go to Ft Wayne tomorow cause it was snowing off and on today so the trip was cancelled by me for today. Humm I got time to run to town and get a haircut. Big mistake.  Got halfway there and the 2000 malibu beeps 2 times at me and then the abs light comes on.  Why is it when you spend a little money then sumpin else goes south    I did a search on the net and seems its a common problem like possibly a break in the wires going to one of the front wheels. Heck with it . It stops fine with out the abs so im gonna enjoy my time off and deal with it later. Did i ever tell ya about the time I bought the 18 foot marlin jet boat with the 550 hp big block chevy in it and the next day the well went dry      
True story...
I knew i shoulda just got up early and went huntin today.

It's Karma. Whenever something good happens, something bad has to happen to even it out.

I had a GMC pickup that did that.  I finally took it to the dealer and he charged me $35 to fix it.  I asked him what he did and he said they pulled out one of the fuses for 30 seconds and then popped it back in.  I asked him why he didnt tell me that in the first place and save me $35.  He just grinned.  I almost popped him.  Unfortunately I can't remember which fuse it was.  I know, Im no help at all!  Might take a little time but you could try a few and see if it goes away.  My 2 cents.

You can usually unhook the battery cable and it will clear the codes too. Do that with the check engine lite on my truck. Look under the hood and it's still there so go figure  It's a code for the front 02 sensor that acts up every now and then.  The ABS should have a fuse of it's own.

They will usually break the harness about 2-3 inches from the connector at the wheel bearing.
You can buy a replacment harness for about 40 dollars
