First get it scanned for ABS codes. It can be a faulty ABS sensor on the wheel or a disconnected one.

Where are these sensors located so i can give them a look?

Without the ABS code(s), diagnosis is a crap shoot; get it scanned.

My light was going on and off for a while and then stayed on. It ended up being caused by a leaky brake line on one of the rear drums and the drums were at about 2% life. After a new set of Drums, pads and brake lines It hasn't come on since.

Start with the rear sensor. It is the most common culprit. This sensor is mounted on top of the differential and is held there by one bolt. Use an ohm meter to check the resistance between the two sensor pins. If its open, you found your problem. Replacement sensor is about $23 for OEM or $12 for an aftermarket sensor (Kragen, Autozone, Pep Boys).

Looks like the rear one is reading OL ill replace that one first.
The dealer says the front two sensors are like 146 each and rear one is 23 bucks

anyone got a part number pep boys and auto zone?

I got mine at Kragen Auto Supply - Raybestos ABS530780. Maybe Auto Zone and/or Pep Boys carry the same one. Check it out.

Who can scan the code? Went to autozone and they can't do it...

Dont bother scaning the codes just get out a multimeter and check for an open. If you find an open on any of the sensors they are bad... I started with the rear because it was the cheapest sensor. Problem fixed!
