Default Abs...rwal

A few days ago I was driving on some icy roads and when I was slowing down my ABS light came on. I have rear-wheel anti-lock brakes. I looked in the manual and it read that this happens (sometimes) on icy roads and all I needed to do was turn my truck off then back on to reset the ABS. I did this a few times and nothing, I also checked all the fuses and they are all good. The brakes also work great.
I have a 1995 Dakota Sport, 3.8L V6
What is my best option?

Sounds like the sensor for the ABS is out, real easy to change out, not too bad on the wallet either, it's right above the differential.

You might want to try unpluging the battery to rest the abs computer. I know when ever I drive in some deep water rain or mud puddles mine will come on. I know mine is a leaky connector, or wire.
