i know this doesnt help but my light on on/off for about 4 months then went off i knew when it wasnt goin to come on because when i started up my car and backed out of my driveway u felt a pulse in the breaks and the light wouldnt be on. there is never a pulse anymore and yes my lightr comes on when i turn the key

Well, it could be one of the sensors is messed up or dirty, but the first thing you always check on our cars, is the 3rd brake light. It is part of the whole ABS system, and if it burns out, then it throws a ABS inop light. Try that first. Good luck. ;)

i read somewhere that a kink in the ABS cables can cause the light to come on/off frequently.

Mine will come on for like 5 seconds whenever I hit a bad pothole..??

Your alternator could be going out. That light came on in my car and about a week later the alt. went out. Check it out.

have you done any work on the rear end lately?
Mine came on after I changed the carrier/gears and did not replace the reluctor ring. It stayed on for about fifty miles then went away after I decided to "test" the abs. If your abs light is on, but not your brake light, you might have lost just the abs and you can still drive like this( just adjust braking habits for no abs).

Might sound silly, but when my 3rdbrake light went out, it casue the light to come on. So you might check that also, a quick moneyless idea.

check your bulbs and fuses first, then go from there.
