i think the abs relay is in the trunk
driver side
common fault is the relay power terminal solder point becomes loose from circuit board in the relay
i"ll check to verify location of relay

The ABS relay is under the dash, left side, mounted on a bracket on the LH blower motor. Turn the key on, don't start the engine, you should hear the brake pump run for maybe 20 seconds and then shut off when the "Brake" and "ABS"lights go out. There is a pressure switch on the accumulator housing that tells the pump when to come on. You likely have a problem with the pressure switch, or the pump itself is intermittantly failing.

You're welcome. If the pump isn't running, test it for power supply. These pumps are very reliable, but I have seen one fail. Contact me privately if you need a good used one.
