Angry Scratching/ Pulsing Brakes 1993 Grand Am

Had problem with ABS light coming on each time brake was pushed.

Master cyclinder was replaced, now brake light never comes on. Not sure it if interfaces with computer. Mechanic says its only the light.

Sometimes - Scratching noises on fire wall side of brade petal. Scratching noise sometimes when you just start the car and do not touch the brake petal. Also, as you stop, below 5 mile per hour, brake pulses, petal drops and brakes begins to lock.

Replaced hydrolic power boost. - No change, althought mechanic originally said it fixed the problem.

GM says replace rear drums and brakes. Although they looked okay, I did that. It was better for almost two months.

Replaced front pads, and resurfaced discs. Replaced calipers.

Mechanic nows replaced something else, ABS boost of somekind.

Still have scratching behind fire wall and pulsing brake petal. Someone says the master cyclinder was probably bad from the start.

Does anyone know what this problem is, and how to correct it? After the mechanic having the car for 8 weeks, and I having it back for one day, its going back.

Why wife is afraid to be in the car.
