   I do ABS brakes, though they are factory.  But you raise a good point.  I am   
   now thinking the Brake light on the dash is a result rather than a source   
   indicator.  My sense is the electrical interruption is long enough for the   
   ABS circuitry to sense and it is lighting the dash light to indicate they   
   are not ready for emergency stopping.   
      
   I am back to tracing the electrical feeds from battery, alternator, starter   
   and ground.  It's pouring rain, melting our snow pack, and even a dry garage   
   is not a comfortable place for crawling around, but better than a ditch   
   somewhere.   
      
   Thanks,   
   Jere
