Your ABS light is no biggie. With the VX, you're better off without it (don't ask how I know). I'd just remove the bulb & call it done.
The brake light you mentioned bothers me though. Is it on just because the brake fluid is low? Are the brakes FUBAR? Dive into the brake situation quick. That should be your highest priority.
The play in the steering could be a simple fix. There is an adjustment on the top of the steering box to take out the backlash of the worm gear. Loosen the lock nut - adjust the set screw - tighten the lock nut.
