brake light flashing, ABS light on? What is this????
just got back from driving the car and didn't have a chance (yet) to look at owners manual (it's at home, I'm at work). Does anyone know what this means? Thanks.

Or abs sensor cable shorting out..
Very common. The cable has an intermittent short in it where it bends (from the constant movement from the suspension). Two fixes: 1) buy a new abs sensor ($150 or so I believe) or 2) cut off the old wire, leave 2-3" at the connector and sensor, then splice in new wire. That's what I did and it fixed my problem.
