ABS Light & Hazard Lights S70 1998

My 98 S70 GLT all of a sudden has had the ABS light coming on and off intermittently. It always comes on if I really accelerate off of a light or stop sign, but after turning the car off it doesn't come back on. Sometime if the light doesn't come on when accelerating it comes on when I push the brakes, the ABS tries to activate but does the shuttering like it is having problems and the brake pedal drops a little but braking is fine... any ideas on this?

Also the hazard button on the interior of the car had come completely out of its hole in the dash, I think the clips came off ... does anyone know if you can just replace the clips or do I need to replace the whole indicator unit?

Thanks

You have a gem in the 98 s70 glt! Awesome car! Abs issue is that you likely need a abs control module, 600 bucks plus a hour to two hours labor, dont fret if you dont want to fix it the abs just may not work. Likely the clips are busted on the hazards, look for one at a salvage yard or buy it new, easy to install just pull it out unplug then plug and push in!
