Sounds like you need to adjust the switch on your handbrake? Does the light come on when you just barely touch/move the handbrake up?

first just what exactly is happening, their is a brake light, and a ABS light, if it is the ABS light flashing then it is a ABS issue, probably sensor related. if it is the brake, then maybe the emergency brake switch needs adjusted.
if the brake light is on steady and the ABS light is flashing then your ABS module is going bad( when it is totally shot the lights get more consistent till they come on all the time) what happens is the main power wire is aluminum and from vibration it breaks connection to the module, when it is cold they will make contact again, as they warm up they loose contact, this happens until they don't make contact at all and the module no longer works. if you have good solder skills you can repair this, or best to send it to module masters for a rebuild. But first let us know just what light or lights come on, and on solid or blinking!
