ABS light on after alarm install...

Okay so I had a alarm and remote starter installed on the max yesterday. After the install the ABS light was on. The installation guy said it would go away but it hasn't. I wanted to know if something in the steering column could have been effected, maybe a fuse? What else could have caused it. I left the car battery disconnected overnight and no luck.
The shop is willing to take care of it on Monday but I don't want them to make things worse by doing a "quick fix" specially if someone can give me ideas that may solve the problem.

Yeah I know, I just wanted to see if I could figure it out before letting them touch it again. I have had things made worse by mechanics attempting to fix what they f'ed up in the first place.

So, no particular ideas?

Did you try your abs to see if it still works? It sucks if you have new tires though...... My abs used to come on in my 01 every time it rained for some reason, but my abs always worked, because I tried. Did the people relocate a fuse of some type during the install? Maybe they needed a 20a fuse (just picking a number), took one out of any spot and replaced it with something else. Long shot, but at least look at them to make sure

It's done!

Just to end the thread, I pulled the fuse and put it back after a few seconds and the light is gone for now. I guess leaving the battery disconnected didn't reset the abs computer.
