Ok here's what happened to me today , 96 Grand Am 67,000 original miles. Bought it from a neighbor who's wife could no longer drive and have been spending money for 2 years on it since.
ABS light came on today and my radio and headlights no longer work as well as inside dome light ? Just had to replace a sensor last month and brakes twice since I bought it , AC has a leak too. Have had to have it towed 6 times for fixing and stopping and now AAA will charge me. All of this happened right after I bought it. POC vehicle.
Any ideas ? fuses are fine. Thanks.

Go through the engine compartment and check every wire. Make sure no wire is showing thru any of the insulation. Unplug clean and replug the connections. Then check fuses. At each wheel you will fine a plug for the ABS. Clean that connection too.

Welcome to AF LemonCar !!
Yes which engine and what sensor was just replaced ?
Along with what racerxpl said, get it scanned with an ABS scan tool.
Their's no other way to tell why the ABS light is on.
Also I beleve that all those things that quit working all the sudden are all on the same curcuit.
