4 x 4 dash light

So after needing a recon turbo, I've recently had a sticking caliper.

So today new caliper, track rod end and drop link, as all needed doing.

Picked the car up and on left hand corners I can hear the abs kicking in and the 4 x 4 symbol on the dash. Then the 4 x 4 light is on permanantely. Turned car off and went for a drive 15 mins later and although initlally off, the light comes back on with the same symptoms.

Does anyone have any advice or knowledge what could possibly be wrong?? This car is starting to drive me nuts!!

Sounds like the ABS wheel sensor or wiring has been disturbed when they have been replacing the calliper.
As a guess.

Thanks for your reply horizon. In case this may help anyone who posts a similar question and also gets little advice, I got the tracking done today and voila....problem solved

Great result, glad you got it sorted. Kind of makes sense to have the tracking / alignment done after having the track rod ends and suspension work done.
