I'm surprised it didn't give you a code. I assume you shorted the connector
and switched the key to position II prior to pulling the fuse (which clears
it)?
If it is a problem in the unit, you will hear it buzz several times for
short periods (about a second each time) trying to pressurize prior to the
light coming on.
From your symptoms, it sounds pretty definitive that something is going on
with your wheel sensors. Check that they are properly seated and the wiring
connector is seated and undamaged. Also look at the drive shaft where it
passes under the sensor to make sure nothing has obstructed the marks that
the sensor reads to decide if that wheel is turning.
