I've made dealer appt and am going out of town until then. Was hoping someone else had the same problem so dealer doesn't try to drain my pocket. Will check post when I return. Thanks ahead.

3-19-08 added info. FYI, I took it to the dealer. They tested the sensors and 3 out of 4 brakes showed problem, so they put dealer sensors in and it still showed problem. So, he said the problem was electrical, 1 wire, and it will have to be traced and replaced/fixed. They unplugged the ABS to prevent constant pump usage (and possible failure) until I can get it in when the best wire diagnostic guy is working. And, didn't charge me for the time they spent. My ABS light is now on, and I have old style brakes, but no noises, buzzing, pulsing, or vibration in the brake pedal at any speed. They also told me my second leaf spring on both rear sides is broken. They said they've been getting a lot of that, and it seems to always be the same spring, but it hasn't been enough to cause a recall.
