Got the same issue om my 2000 Zetec. It started with the ABS Light and Handbrake light flickering on and off and then they've both staying on permanently for a week r so.
Took it in to my local garage and they connected the diagnostic thing but it came back with a cross and couldn't read the codes. They checked all the sensors, fuses and relays without any joy. Took it to National this morning to see if they could read the codes and they couldn't, I was watching the screen and it returned X. They couldn't tell me if they thought it was the cars ECU at fault and therefore throwing out the lights or whether it was the ABS that was making the lights stay on.
In the same boat as I have my MOT next month. Had the car from new and its run perfectly all the time so I really want to keep it going a bit longer but I'm running out of ideas.
I've located the ABS module and tomorrow I'm going to get the part number and order one from the internet and ask a local garage to fit it. The parts about £50 so it feels like worth giving it go, although I don't think it will work and the car will have to be scrapped.
