O.P. says he's in New York... Rust Belt.
As am I. Mine does the A.B.S. light game every spring. Little bits of rust get on the magnet for the A.B.S. sensor and give it a conniption.
Check the front wheel sensors for buildup. You can get the rust bits off with sticky tape.
As far as the brake light goes, try pushing up on the emergency brake pedal when it's doing the light.
