Well, I received no replies or answers. No worries but I think it is always appropriate to post the final solution to these threads so others can benefit.
Quick and dirty synopsis. Took it over to the local Brake Masters as I had a coupon for a free brake light code diagnostics. Also had a coupon for a 16.99 oil change so all is good - check the light and get an oil change for about $20. Anyway they came up with two codes - C1246 (EBCM Request Brake light on) and C1286 (EBCM Motor pack issue). The manager wanted to charge me about $500-$800 to diagnose and repair. Did some reading about on Automotive Forums and found that these codes could be the brake reservoir/ABS control motor gears or the computer that is bolted on to this motor. Grabbed one from eBay fro $50 and took a shot that it was the computer as that just seemed to make the most sense (and I hate computers). So, my son and I attempted to remove the computer w/o removing the while reservoir assembly. That would have meant rebleeding everything and we figured we would try and, if it didn't work we would pull the whole unit and replace. Jacked up the left side, my son going in through the hood and me on the ground with swivels and flex adapters and we removed and replaced the computer. Took about an hour and was more about communications. I could see, my son could reach better. Anyway, started the car and lights off. Great joy. I've still got the reservoir and gear box that I will try to sell on ebay. No harm, no foul, took some time but we are back in business.
