Default ABS Light ON

I changed my brake fluid using DOT4 fluid, I removed the ABS fuse first, then used a mighty vac at each wheel and removed a lot of air. When done, started the car and the ABS light was on to remind me that I didn't put the fuse back in. After putting the fuse back in its place, the ABS light stayed on and has been on for a week now. So... what did I do wrong! The car is stopping better..

It's an easy way to bleed if you don't have someone to help.

1994 850 Turbo imported from sweden in 2005. The vac attaches on the caliper and creates a suction and sucks out all the old brake fluid, while the master cylinder is full of all new fluid. Removes all the old brake fluid and any air and water that was in the system.
