hi all,
This primera has a strange intermittant faualt where the abs light comes on when you turn the steering wheel to the left from the straight ahead position, it has had the n/s drive shaft replaced some time ago. it does this while the car is satationary or moving mainly while stationary
many thanks

Take the front wheels off and check that the ABS sensor and wiring are correctly positioned and are not mis-placed or being pulled/pinched when you turn to the left.

It's probably the case that the cable has been pulled/pinched every time you've turned left since you had the work done and the damage is now showing.

i might be wrong but i thought the light would only come on for a speed sensor fault when the car got above twelve mph. this seems to be a steering angle sensor fault but not sure if a car this old would have one.
many thanks
