Never install larger fuses. You have an intermittent short. you need to trace the wires back to the source to find where they are damaged. You MAY also find an ABS error with an OBD II test unit if your vehicle supplies ABS error codes.

I know its a long shot but is it possible you have trapped or cut the wiring harness during the work and its shorting out on the frame etc.
Go back through the work carefully.

You probably have a bad ground somewhere where maybe a ground wire didn't get installed in the correct location or there is corrosion in and around the bolt. I would check the wires relating to the abs system and see what you find

SOURCE: abs brake warning light comes on and rear brakes remain stuck on

I would bypass abs contraption with new line.(87 dually) abs located under drivers side cab looks very susceptible and is known to fail.I would trust my foot before that old thing.Im rippin it out of my truck & replacing it with new line all the way back.Old lines rusted pretty bad.Better safe than sorry.unplug light bulb or just leave it in .Jersey cant say anything if its 94 or older at inspection.that goes for all the lights.For me,older is better.I dont know what setup you have or if you sold it, you could try replacing it for about 160 at advanced.I hope its not the computer screwin up,thats probably a dealer item.Try unpluging hydraulic unit for shits & giggles.Go over rear brakes again before you start cutting.

My Suburban had the same issue. Replacing the ABS control module did the trick, second one, the first was replaced under warranty.  I used these guys http://modulemaster.com/en/index.php with success.  It was very simple to replace, four screws.  Hope this helps.

SOURCE: My brake lights do not work for 1998 ford explorer

Fuse #14 has nothing to do with brake lights, test fuse # 9, and fuse # 13, if they test good with a 12 volt test light (avail at any auto parts store for around $6.00) do the following:
Test the brake light switch at the brake pedal, use a 12 volt test light, probe one side until u find power, then press the pedal, at that point the other terminal should have power as well, if not replace the brake light switch, if this switch checks ok replace the turn signal switch.

Why dose the abs brake light on dash come on when I am not braking

Open the fuse panel by pulling down on the fuse panel cover in the driver's side footwell.
Locate the fuse for the ABS sensor using the fuse diagram on the underside of the fuse panel cover.
Pull the fuse for the ABS using the fuse pullers in the fuse box.
Check the fuse for the ABS. If the fuse is broken or damaged in some way, then replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage. The ABS light could come on if there is a short in the system and it blows the fuse.
Turn the ignition to the "On" position but do not crank the engine. If the ABS light comes on, crank the engine. If it stays on for more than five seconds, there is a failure in the ABS system, and it needs to be serviced by a professional mechanic.

ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT

Hi Douglas, The ABS warning light is indicating a fault with the system. The vehicle can be driven, but the Anti Lock System is not working. The best course of action is to take the vehicle for a diagnostic scan and find out where the problem is. It is most likely to be with one of the wheel speed sensors, which may need cleaning or replacing. That is not to say that is the problem, only the most likely. Regards John

Abslight stays on no brake lights

Fuse 12 (10 Amps) may be burned out. Its located in "Junction Block". Losing
fuse 12 would kill the ABS systems and light the ABS dashboard light.

Fuse 11 (20 Amps) may be out. Its located in "Power Distribution Center". Losing fuse 11
would kill the brake lights, and light the ABS dashboard light. If fuse 11 is blown,
check your (3) brake light sockets for shorts of any type, or fuse 11 will just blow again.

Here's your ABS Indicator Light wiring diagram:

My abs and handbrake light stay on every two days and off after in my honda civic 1500cc yr 2004.its a five door civic

This indicates you have an issue with your ABS control unit. ABS is a system that "pumps" the brakes in rapid succession to prevent wheel lockup during an emergency start. A common cause of sliding in wet weather, etc. To do this a computer control module uses plungers to open and close the brake fluid flow to the brake in miliseconds..so while you are pressing on brake pedal hard... the system is actually applying and releasing the brake in rapid succession (miliseconds) to prevent skid, etc. When teh computer module goes bad the ABS and Parking brake light will stay illuminated. There shoudl be an ABS fuse in your vehicle (please refer to your manual) that can be removed. Remove this fuse and check it for dirt, blown, cracks, or corosion. Replace the fuse and listen with the motor off if you hear a hum noise this would indicate the motor is running continuously for the brakes and is another indicator of a bad control. With the fuse removed both lights should stay continuously lit. If the motor is running continuously this can blow the ABS motor.. your brake system will still function with the fuse removed, but test it with a slow roll (no gas hand pushed car) The ABS controller is quite pricey to replace in the vehicle and should be referred to a licensed facility such as a dealer. YES dealers are high but to have this job done properly you need to have the vehicle raised on a platform. Your local brake shop, muffler shop, shadetree wont be able to do this control repair properly.
