Fix the ABS so it works. Unhook the battery for 5 minutes.
Replace the bulb it works when you turn on the driving lights and when you brake. there are two little springs inside the light one is for the brake light and the other is for the driving light. All you need to do is replace the bulb. good luck.
If Its an older Grand Marquis its easy. Find the knob that you pull out to turn on the headlights. Now, just turn it clockwise and the light will turn off!
Probably a bad bulb They are double filamented with the smaller filament for stop and turn Larger is for tail light
The light is on do to a malfunction in the system. The problem will need to be fixed for the light to turn off.
