    why would my abs light come on after driving for a minute and stay on but when it's raining and the roads are wet my abs light will flicker off and on and eventually stay OFF until things dry back out. Also picking up a shimmy between61mph and 80mph haha wide range but only occurs 2-3 out of five times while driving thinking they are possibly related issues

    Issues are not related.

    Your ABS issue is an electronic one, likely a faulty wheel speed sensor. Have you tried pulling ABS fault codes from your OBDII?

    Your shimmy issue is a mechanical issue. Possible causes are wheels are out of balance (this can happen if you loose some wheel weights), you are out of alignment, or your tires are unevenly worn from being out of alignment/not performing tire rotations.

    I just recently got an alignment a week or so ago I have actually gotten quite a few lately because I've been doing a lot of work to my front end I put in a leveling kit and new sway bar end links and changed out my old shocks and struts I'm not sure I have a few things in mind thanks for the input

    I have not tried to pull any codes only because my abs system has an entirely different diagnosise "plug in" than the one for my check engine light I've seen tricks with a paper clip and shops will only check them if you let them work on it
