Strange happenings - ABS

[Robert Myers]

Hi Y'all,

The patient - my '95 urS6.

For some time now the "Antilock Off" indicator light has been flashing on 
sometimes.  I suspected that the "gear teeth" portion of the speed sensor 
somewhere has gotten futched up (technical term) and that was the cause of 
the problem.   This morning I started the engine and switched the 
headlights and wipers on.  The indicator light came on immediately.  I 
turned the lights off and the ABS light went off.  The ABS light came on 
regardless of which lights may or may not have been operating at the 
time.  Turn the stalk light switch to the first or second position with the 
dimmer switch set to either high or low beams and with auxiliary lights 
either on or off made no difference.  Turn the stalk switch on the ABS 
light turned on.  Turn the stalk switch off and the ABS light went off.

I drove the car on slick (freezing drizzle) roads and did a panic stop test 
with the ABS warning light shining brightly.  The ABS activated as it is 
supposed to do under these circumstances and the warning light turned off 
and stayed off regardless of the position of the light switch.

Does anyone have a clue as to what the dickens is going on?

Bob
