Thanks in advance.Walter.

Answer
Walter,
 I've heard of this happening before, but never actually dealt with it personally.  I know the ABS computer can be fried when this happens, and this would obviously cause the ABS light to come on.

 I would check the ABS computer and see if it has any signs that it's bad (i.e. melting, black spots etc..)

 Good luck,
 Josh
