Check the RABS valve. There will a connector there. Give it a look.

amber abs and red brake light on at the same time means a fluid problem. Low fluid level. If your master is full then it is almost always a loose or corroded connector on the sensor in the bottom of it. They are especially good about doing it when you hit bumps if it is loose and or corroded.

I'd check the parking break wire as well, just for ****s and giggles. =)

It's right on the p-brake pedal under the dash.
