Mine is doing the same thing and is a 97. I didn't count how many times it blinked, but I can't get it into gear....How do I correct this???? Thanks!

Is there any way to override this so I can get it into gear and get it to a place so it can be looked at...

hi everyone...finally found out what was wrong...fuse blew and wouldn't let me take it out of drive...my brake fluid sensor went bad and blew the fuse...since they don't sell that alone...you have to buy the whole thing...I just disconnected it (it has a plug) and my light went off and it is fine for now...but don't put the fuse in til you unplug the sensor(it is screwed in to the master cyl.)

if the red brake light is on you need to fix that first and it might fix the yellow abs light at the same time.

the red light comes on when there is a basic brake problem ie:
low fluid, pressure differentail in the master
