You'll need to be more specific.
I have been to Connecticut, and there are plenty of auto repair shops there that can fix it for you if you really don't know how to begin to diagnose it.
These early ABS systems were pretty flaky. There are 3 systems you'll have to go through to find the source of your problems:
1. Wheel sensors. located behind each wheel. Occasionaly they go bad and trip the ABS light.
2. ABS module. Expensive.
3. ABS pump. Very expensive.
LeSabre T'* with problems with the ABS are sometimes converted to a regular brake setup. You'd have to get a master cylinder, booster, and brake pedal. The ABS system has only 3 lines vs non-ABS systems with 4 lines. Each front wheel should have an individual line and the rear has only one. For the rear, use an adjustable proportioning valve on the single line into the MC, and just block off the other port for the non-existant second rear line.
The annoying part about converting is that you'll need to buy extra line and splice into the old lines to add the proper fittings.
