I have owned 2 Generation 5 Monte Carlo's, an 95 and a 96. On my First one, when it was at about 25,000 miles, the anti lock light stayed on steady. I had it worked on several times under warranty and they were servicing the Anti lock system, which was obviously not fixing it. then they Discovered a short in the tail lights, fixed that, and it never happened again. on my Second Monte, the anti lock light does the same thing. I have had the anti lock system checked, and it IS infact working (plus I have used it a couple times, being from Utah and having lots of snow, and needed to stop fast, I assure you my anti lock brakes work). anyway, I have never had this car looked at for a short, but I assume that it is probably the Culprit. in any event, the light on is not affecting the system in my car anyway.

AnswerIt is on because there is a problem with the Anti-Lock brake system. Your normal brake system will still work. Have this looked at by a professional, as it is not a DIY repair, unless your are knowledgeable. Answeras it happened to me, the anti lock light would come on then go off, then back on and volts light came on to. installed new battery and anti lock and volts light are off. then anti lock came back on a day later. then volts light came back on. then the car went totally dead as i was driving. this whole time the anti lock lights were not flashing on and off but were on solid, which means you still have brakes. i replaced the alternator and all is good. so there may be not enough electrical power to keep the anti lock system active.
