ABS Light blinking

Van is acting wierd
Went out to start it tonight its been sitting couple days.
Its been starting a little slow after I changed the GPR couple months ago.
So I let it cycle the glowplugs twice.
It started up but cranked a little like a weak battery but batts are brand new from last winter.

Then afer starting went to turn headlights on and put in reverse.
No headlights or interior lights.
Wont let me put it in gear at all.
Brake pedal is soft but pumps up.
ABS light is flashing.
There is fluid in the master cylinder and the vacumm pump is working.

What the heck happened?
Is all this connected?

Thanks
John

Check all your fuses, sounds like you blew a fuse

I figured at least 1 fuse myself for the headlights.
Could this also be related to it not coming out of park and going into gear?

Yes, if the ABS light is blinking, it will disable it so you can't shift out of park. This same thing happens to me when I try to use my hazzard lights with my trailer, for some reason it pops the ABS fuse, and disables the shifter, and causes the ABS light to flash

Hope i dont have something going on in my fuse box.
I have had problems with the panel before.
Surprised it started.

Well I figured it out it was the big 60 amp fuse in the under hood fuse box that feeds the inside fuse box.
It didnt blow but it had corroded and broke off the tabs.
My fusebox is getting a little rough this is about the 3rd bad fuse Ive had anyone know where I can get a good used one?
Are they tough to change?
