The ABS reservoir is see-through. See if it has anything in it. Chances
are the system is toast though. It will not do any harm to drive it. You
have full braking power just as if it didn't have the ABS option.
The warning light is just a reminder that you should be ready to pump the
brakes yourself when that emergency arises, 'cause the ABS is not going to
do it for you any more.
When you see the price tag for repair, you probably will choose not to.

Ken's diagnosis does not apply to this generation ABS system. The ABS is a
separate system and the fluids essentially do not mix. Brake wear will
lower the main system level and eventually turn on the "brake" light (the
one that comes on when the parking brake is applied.

Thanks for the responses. The light does not come on until I have driven a
very short distance from my house so it may be the wheel sensor as Curly
suggests. So I think I may remove the fuse as suggested for the time being.
Once again, thanks for all the suggestions and replies.

===================
If a sensor, it's likely the connection where the sensor plugs into the
wiring harness, since the sensors are built like the proverbial
cindercrete lavatory..

Thanks.
Uhm - is that to say that the ABS and Brake warning lights *are* combined on
some vehicles of some other generation? I hadn't thought it was ever
done...but you never know

There are some failure modes on some models where both lights will come on.
