More non workingness.. although not as important as the heater ATM..

The dash lights are not working at all, that is nothing that is on the dimmer is working, as mentioned earlier I did have the whole dash apart this summer to replace the heater unit so this may have effcetd somthing I suspect an earth but can't recall seeing any earths. I do have 12V at one of the 3 wires into the dimmer unit, however bypassing this to either of the other wires just blows fuse A7.

The next one is a bit more important, however I am 98% certain I know what has caused it. The ABS light has come on and will not go out as it did when it was last working, not sure how long this has been for as the instruments were replaced due to a non functioning trip. And the new ones were from an ordinary Vogue, not an SE and so did not have ABS. As the car is in for its MOT tomorrow I finally bothered to check it. Not woring, on inspection bulb was missing, fitted bulb.. and yep, it's on, move off.. damn it's still on.
This will be down to me having had the swivel pin out to remove a shim, and thus the abs sensor was taken out of the swivel pin, I got it in as far as I could on reassembly but it did not want to go the last bit, so I had assumed it was fully home, but I now find it is still proud compared to the other side, any good tips for getting it properly seats without killing it?
