Few questions about my new civic

Hey guys, just bought a 95 civic ex. I'm honestly in love with it but a few problems persist for it to be perfect and I will need some help

1. ABS light is on. The guy I bought it from said his mechanic said its just the sensor, it still works. Is there an easy solution to get rid of the light?

2. When I first test drove the car the aftermarket stereo worked just fine. Now it does not play sound no matter what. The stereo itself is on but no sound. My guess is its a wiring issue? Any guesses?

3. This is sort of minor, but when I go to turn on my headlamps, it takes them a little bit to turn on. Any ideas on that?

Thank you for any ideas on everything. Specific directions would be appreciated.

If you want to check if your ABS actually works, you can always try doing a reasonably hard brake on a long, straight dirt road. You'll be able to hear if it kicks in. The reason I say that is this thread:

Could be. There's NO sound? I'd check the fuses first (did the new one come with its own fuse?) and then the wiring behind the head unit.

I'd check the fuses again. Maybe one's got one prong in the grave, if you catch my drift.
