Have yall had this problem??
i have a 94' bird and my ABS light has been on forever, i got it scanned and
My BRAKE LAMP SWITCH was the whole problem...
it caused my abs to stop working and my cruise control screwed up....

and i was wondering, i want to put the WS6 spoiler on my car. do i need to get a whole new hatch or can you get it seperate???

My buddy scanned mine once and I think it said the front wheels were causing it (sensors, who knows). Wonder if mine is on for the same reason as yours, or did it actually come up and say "Brake lamp switch"?

Yeah on my 94 Z28, that light has been on since I bought the car last year and the cruise doesn't work either.
Looks like I'll be swapping the switch and hopefully it works

i had abs inop problems on my car a few years ago and i had it in the shop for plugs/wires/etc and asked them to clean the sensor (one time i had gotten a flat and after the blowout the abs was fine for like 2 months so i figured it was a dirty sensor) and they said my front rotors were warped a bit and my front pads had like 20% left and the rears were @ 30%
i had them put new rotors and pads on all around (less than or about the same cost as the front hub w/ abs sensor would have been FWIW) and have had no abs inop problems since (although every once in a while when the battery would get low after the car sat for a while, the abs inop would come immediatly on when the car was started, then you'd run the car for 1-2 mins, shut it off, restart and no more abs inop) my original abs inop problem was kind of scary..you'd be driving and apply the brakes and on a clear dry road the low trac would come on, the pedal would get rock hard and then go down to its normal positon, then get hard again and come back up slightly... after the 3rd time of doing this, the ABS INOP would come on...it actually increased stopping distance when it'd happen, for a while i'd actually put the car in neutrol and intentionally stop short just in case it happeend so i wouldnt hit anyone

Not surprising. I have heard some GMs cruise control will stop working if your third brake light it out. It really is a good idea, but the problem is, if your cruise stops working you need to know to check you brake light.

i looked at my spoiler lights both bulbs were out...

if you have the problem replace you light bulbs and it should come up, i feel retarded
