The abs brakes are starting to stutter in my 96 lincoln towncar. i hope it doesn't cost too much to fix because it's my daily driver with only 90,000mi.

I currently have the same issue with mine. It usually starts after the car has been running a few minutes or if I accelerate quickly. A friend of mine suggested the motor mounts.
a mechanic once told me that if i turned my key forward (i believe it's the accessory mode) but not all the way to the start position, and left it like that for 10 minutes, it would reset my computer (i have a 96 towncar)
hope that helps!
The noise is normal ( somewhat) Things that can make it happen too often are mis adjusted tire pressure. wrong tires ( all the tires have to be the same size) worn out tires low grip. The ABS system will work normally only if a tire is trying to skid. if the seed senser dectects a tire is going the wrong speed conpared to the others or the car is slowing down faster than the design limites the system will cycle and not turn the light on. If say the back brakes are worn out the fronts may cycle the system as the front is the only thing stopping the car.
There is a switch mounted on the arm of the brake pedal (under a plastic cover held on with 3 plastic push-pins). There is an electical connection attached to this switch. In my case one of the wires had broken and was not supplying electricity to the switch. By fixing the broken wire it allowed the shifter to properly move and got the brake lights working again.
sounds like the brake pads may be metal to metal, that could be the noise problem, but until u have the system tested for the trouble code that is setin the ABS modules memory when the light comes on you are guessing, the Dealer is the only one in most cases that has the scan tool to check ABS trouble codes.
