Default Abs Inop

I have a problem, when i turn on the hazzard lights the abs inop light comes on. After i turn the hazzrds off the light stays on until i turn the car off then back on again. Is there any reason for this??

Mine was doing this also, but not with the hazard lights... That I know of anyway. I always noticed it when the headlights were on and I used a turn signal. It wouldnt happen at all unless the headlights were on though. My car is equipped with TCS, so when the ABS inop light comes on, so does the TCS-off light.
So Im guessing that the ABS/TCS systems somehow tie into the lighting system or the turn signal switch. Then when the conditions are met, a problem arises.
Ive posted on several other boards about this and got no helpfull replies at all. It seems that like me, not many people know about these systems and how they correlate with each other.
If someone could point out how and why the systems are connected, Im sure I could find the problem.
If anyone can give some insight, it'd be much appreciated.

LS1 GG:Thanks for the heads up on pic size... I gotta figure out how to shrink it.
VanbibberLT1: I just checked my third brakelight and noticed its bad.. Its replaced now, just have to wait till the new motor is in to check it out.
Whats with these cars, just before the motor, I kept having the drivers side brakelight go out. But the bulb would be fine every time. Where are the grounds for our taillights? I want to check them.

You have to take out your cd changer then the things that hold the speakers basically everything there, lol, then you have access to the tailights. If you want me to go more into detail just pm me but its pretty easy!
