This wiring Diagram, http://shbox.com/1/relay_for_ss_spoiler.jpg , shows exactly what to do. Just get a plain automotive relay to wire in right behind the spoiler tail light.

I found a relay in a parts car, but it measures about 1 inch per side. There is nowhere I can wire it in the third brakelight, I believe it's an aftermarket SS clone spoiler and I don't want to drill it. As I'm writing this, I'm pretty sure the wire for the brakelight runs directly to the battery so if that's the case, I will just wire the relay into there. Otherwise where would I want to put it?
Just so I don't sound so clueless I want to point out that I just bought the car and it was a trade in so I had no communication with the previous owner. It would be great for something this easy to turn my "abs inop" light off though.

Ok, so I just popped out the kicker panel looking for the wiring and realized it runs right under the gray plastic piece on the hatch. Guess that answers where I can fit the relay in. Found the wiring joint right away. Put both wires into their respective sides of the relay. ABS inop light is still on. I should note that I still notice some of the LED's are out and the red light(not in the tail light) are out. Just wondering if the LED's are out( and the rear side light), will that keep the ABS inop light on? By the way, I do hear the relay click so I know it's working.
On a related note, I found that the fuse wired and ran separately under my hood is somehow related to my ASR light being on. I took the hoop connection off of the battery and the ASR button functioned as it should. It of course doesn't work anymore now that I taped that wire over to prevent it from shorting. Just weird.
I have the battery removed now to try and see if that will reset it. What's everyone think?
