ABS light on/heater fan off/auto trans shift locked in park

[RAJP53]

I have a problem with my 96 Outbac that comes and goes. Out of the blue the
ABS light will go on, the heater fan will cut out, and---should I stop and put
the car in park--the automatic transmission shifter will lock in place, (even
with the foot on the brake). The sometimes cures are kicking my left foot
against the wall below on and around the interior fuse box, or shuting the car
off and restarting it (which mayl turn the ABS light off and turn the fan back
on, but may still keep the shifter locked) or disconnecting the negative
battery cable for a few moments. I cannot duplicate the conditions that lead
to this odd occurence because I just don't know what they are. Does anyone
have a clue as to cause, prevention and permanent cure? Thanks!

Electrical problem I think. First I would remove a clean the fuses
associated with the ABS and fan circuits. Then check for good ground
connections by removing and sand papering the ground wires and attaching
points. Let us know what you find, eddie
