Hi, this problem is caused by bad bulbholder earthing in the lamp units. The light, usually a brake lamp tries to earth back through the wiring loom instead of the body and creates strange effects on other light circuits. A common one is putting the brake lights on puts out the sidelights on the rear. Fit a separate earth wire from the bulbholder (the bit that clips in to the unit) straight to the body close by.

What could make the ABS dashboard light come on in a 1994 88 Royale?
Problem with the anti-lock brake system. Take it to a pro. I would try replacing the brake light bulb in the high brake light located in front of the rear window. If the bulb is blown this will also make the cruise control not work, and the ABS light will come on from it. I am not sure if this is true for all of the brake lights or not, but it is worth a shot before seeing a pro.
