Default Sick of "ABS" and "Brake" light!

I have researched on here for hours and changed the sensor on the rear diff and cleaned and put dielectric grease on the plugs on the module. Not sure where to go from here? They stay off for a day or two and just come on at random times with no rime or reason. Where are they on the front brakes and are they prone to dirt and corrosion or what? What else do you guys suggest.

I was getting a ABS light when I was using a DSP tuner. Diablo was unable to help and I had to take it to the dealer to have the warning reset. The code I was getting said the ABS system was out synch. My problem was caused by DSP "Quick Tune".

check the wiring also at the sensor in the rear end the wiring is known to break inside of itself, due to heat

Default ABS and Brake light on

I have the same problem. I got it scanned and was told my master cylinder has a fluid level sensor on it and it has failed. They said I needed a new master cylinder $420 parts and labour (I think I will tackle this myself)
