Check to see if your 3rd brake light is functioning. If it is burned out it can cause the brake light to come on.

Since the ABS inop light is staying on, and your getting the "casino" effect, thats usually a major failure in the system's mechanical side. Master cylinder, pump, or a slew of other bad things. Most of the time the light will flash for 3 seonds then stop if it's an electrical/sensor problem. You seem to be not-so experienced with the ABS system, take it to a qualified mechanic, and have the entire brake system checked.

A bad ground connection can also give you the dashboard "light show". The ground stud on your passanger side fender well (next to the red positive cap) is usually the culprit. Disconnect the negative terminal on your battery. Remove the nut and wires on the ground stud. Unscrew the ground stud and scrap/sand off the paint under the stud. Clean the bottom of the stud and reassemble. Cured the problem on my friend's 95 Z28.
