Re: 93 regal ABS/BRAKE warning light + alternator "gauges" light

Fuseable links will not cause charging problems. They are a smaller guage wire (usually of aluminum) that is designed to burn out before the rest of the harness it protects so if there is a dead short, you can find the burnt spot. Once a fuseable link goes, all power to that harness will be dead.

I would have the battery load tested. It sounds like you have a bad cell or loose/broken side post. This is causing an intermittent charging issue.

The ABS codes are going to require a type of scan tool that AZ and Advance don't have (like a GM tech-1 or Snap-on Mt-2500). Your best bet there is to take it somewhere with an ABS capable scan tool so as not to guess at your problem.

The red "brake light" is totally independent of the ABS system (it has it's own amber warning light). The red brake light comes on when the parking brake is left on, the fluid level is low, or there is a hydraulic failure in the brake system. Have you noticed the brake fluid level dropping? Is the fluid level sensor in the master cylinder all gunked up?
