I just emailed him privately.  It's a 20A fuse on the Drivers
side near the battery in the fuse tray.  It's labeled ABS SOL.

Ahhh it's supposed to do that but if the test passes and it really does
have a troulbe it will *MESS* with your brakes.  Ask me how I know. :)

If you wish to kill the ABS light stuck steady on you can go in the
passenger side toe kick and remove the ABS computer all together.
