I bought a 97 cl and the abs light is on, I looked under the hood and there is a plug coming from the abs box that is unplugged and I have no idea where it goes, any help would be great

 

I am new here myself, But I would look around the ABS unit to see where it may plug in. Without seeing it,it is hard to know what you are looking at.

Did you check the codes? Blue connector under the glove box, bend a paper clip into a "U" shape slide it in to the connector then turn the key on and look at your abs light it will flash pause flash, count the flashes it will give you a idea what is wrong. I just did this to mine and found a bad right rear sensor.

 

If you found a connector with a blue wire on it by the abs module its a tach wire for service. not connected to anything

I did the paper clip trick on my old 1997,the code told me right rear sensor error.
I replaced the sensor and the code was gone.

Found this on a honda forum

You do it the exact same way you would for jumping the ECU codes. The SCS connector is a blue two pin connector under the glove box. Short that and count the flashes from the ABS light, not the CEL.

Here is a list of ABS codes,

1 The hydraulic pump motor is over-run
1-2 The hydraulic pump motor
1-3 Is a high pressure leak
1-4 The pressure switch
1-8 Accumulator of high pressure system
2-1 Circuit of handbrake warning lamp switch
3-1 Rotor teeth damaged on right hand front wheel speed sensor
3-2 Rotor teeth damaged on left hand front wheel speed sensor
3-4 Rotor teeth damaged on right hand rear wheel speed sensor
3-8 Rotor teeth damaged on left hand rear wheel speed sensor
3-12 Combination of different sizes of tires
4-1 Circuit of right hand front wheel speed sensor
4-2 Circuit of left hand front wheel speed sensor
4-4 Circuit of right hand rear wheel speed sensor
4-8 Circuit of left hand rear wheel speed sensor
5-4 Right hand rear wheel lock
5-8 Left hand rear wheel lock
6-1 Front fail safe relay
6-4 Rear fail safe relay
7-1 Right hand front, hydraulic modulator solenoid valve
7-2 Left hand front, hydraulic modulator solenoid valve
7-4 Rear, hydraulic modulator solenoid valve
8-1 Operation of the ABS
8-2 The ECU
8-4 Internal circuit of the ECU

Hope this helps
