A short circuit
disconnect the abs pump(located next to the mastercylinder) and test drive it for a few days and see if the fuse blown.if the fuse is okay, connect the abs pump wire back in. test drive the vehicle a few days again.if the fuse is blown,replace the abs pump. if the fuse are okay,proceed to the next step. disconnect the abs computer(located on passenger side under the hood next to the fan blower) and test drive the vehicle again . if the fuse is blown,the power wire is bad. if the fuse is not blown,connect the wire back into the computer. test drive again and see if the fuse is okay.if the fuse blown,replace computer.
ok I got an 01 Grand Prix kind of had the same problem as you. Had a wire that broke on my bearing and was shorting out. Or the bearing may be going out and it is shorting out within the bearing assembly.
