Sounds like you have a short you need to find. The ABS and some other lights commonly come on during periods of low voltage.

Check your wires around the headers/maifolds. Hard to see them, but easy for them to burn.

drop your dash panel under steering wheel, take a whiff......if it smells "burnt", turn your key on and reach on top of steering column to where your rod connects to switch, see if the wires feel "warm"....surely they will, and you will have your culprit....ignition switch gone bad.
