ABS light........again. S70

From time to time in the life of my reather low mileage 98 S70 GLT, the ABS light would come on for a while then go off. There never seemed to be any apparent rhyme of reason I could link to it. I asked the question on the forum some time ago and the solution everyone proposed was to clean the sensors. I never got around to it simply because the problem didn't occur very often and hasn't happened at all for well over a year. Well, the light came on about a week ago and hasn't gone out at all. So, I took the time last night to clean all four sensors (They were really gunked up), but the effort did nothing to extinguish the annoying orange light on my dash.

Does anyone have other ideas I should try before going to the dealer? What are the potential problems and repair costs? Are there any websites that describe fixes?

To add my comment to the Click and Clack issue, I'm really pretty sick of these "little annoying electrical problems". My car only has 43K on it. I've owned two Acura Integras prior to this and put over 60K on each of them and never had so much as a blown light bulb. I was far more rough on those cars than with my S70. Don't get me wrong, there are many reasons that I love this car. I've baby'd it to death. I'd like to keep it for a long time, but if it continues to eat time and money the way it has I'll have no choice but to get rid of it.
