Default ABS kicking on for no reason.

Hey guys it's been a while. With no computer ill try to keep this short.

3 days ago my ABS light came on. It killed all power and could hardly maintain a speed of 20mph. Also my right turn signal (inside) stayed on and was green but not blinking. My right side drivers light and turn signal were off. This only happens if I'm stopped. I've made it go away by letting it sit and revving on it over and over then everything goes back to normal. Ill be taking it in tomorrow to have it looked at, but would really like some thoughts from you guys and if any of you had the same problems and how much it cost?

Thanks,

Josh

My first thought is a loose or bad connection at a major ground. Cars will act possed when theres a open major ground. Let us know if u find the solution

Iv done alot of research and all i have found out is that it could be a short circuit somewhere, also its not constant it only happens sometimes and usually if i let my car sit a while turned off it will fix itself and its good to go for a while but then it comes out of no where and anytime i give it gas it wants to die.
