OK, yea the ABS fuse is bottom center. That melted socket might be shorting too causing the fuse to blow. And the ABS does use the same brake light switch for it's signal.
Another thought, the brake light switch is on the linkage and moves with the pedal. It's getting old enough that wire insulation is getting brittle and prone to breaking eventually taking the actual wire with it.
And just for refrence: ABS is designed to be passive (I think that's the right term) meaning if it fails the brakes will operate like a non ABS system.
