Car got shipped from CA to IL and now my ABS light is on and I have reset the computer and the light continues to stay on, pulled fuse and waited 10 min and put the fuse back in after checking it to see if was good and put it back in and the light is still on. Brakes seem to work fine 50 mph to a steady stop with no prob. Slamming on breaks and still no prob. Any help please

you have an abs fault. have your abs system scanned for codes.
your base brakes will continue to function normally

I would suggest that you adjust your rear brakes. Most likely you have drum brakes in the rear. When the rear brakes are out of adjustment (caused by not using "e-brake" when you park the car. The "e-brake" when applied keeps the rear brakes adjusted with a self adjusting mechanism.) the front brakes have to do ALL of the work to stop the car. In this case going down a steep grade for a long time simply overheated the front brakes. When the front brake pads overheat they get "glazed" and don't want to work anymore. Most likely reason for brake pedal going to the floor is the brake fluid was boiling. Hope this helps. Good luck.

The ABS light is a warning that you have an issue with the ABS system. The red brake warning lamp is serious. It is telling you that there is an issue with the base brakes. Your car will be ok with an ABS light, but the red warning lamp could be really dangerous. You should have them checked ASAP. It could be from many causes. A park brake switch, low fluid, the causes are too numerous to list. Please for your safty have it checked. Good Luck

Like the other person mentioned, if you have a faulty sensor or bad connection, that would trigger the light. That may also be triggering your ABS to kick in when it doesn't need to. On each wheel, there will be a sensor with some wires coming out of it located on the inside of the axle just behind the rotor. You'd have to test each sensor to determine if one or all of them are faulty.
