The rear windows is a common problem that is easily fixed by resoldering a couple connections on the controller board. I don't have the write up in front of me at the moment but I know this has been covered numerous times on every LR forum. Just do a search.
ABS light staying on is common. Pull the ABS fuse under the hood to disable the system before it causes a real problem. That's the cheap fix. The expensive fix is take the vehicle to a shop that has a computer capable of reading the ABS codes and have them fix the actual problem. When you pull the fuse the light will stay on (and that bulb lasts forever) but the system won't function. With the fuse in the system will operate based on false inputs and tends to act up randomly and at terribly inopportune times.
Brake lights is possibly a stuck switch at the pedal. If you have an auto and can shift out of park without stepping on the brake pedal your brake light switch is stuck.

Best thing to do is download the RAVE manual and you will have a tremendous amount of the correct information identifying all component locations, schematics and the rest of the publications you really need. It's free.
The Window ECU is located behind the glove box. You can remove the connector and pull the circuit board right out of the mounted enclosure. That way is much easier than trying to unbolt the enclosure.
Mine had two cracked solder joints. With one of the components you had to push the lead to see the defect. I reflowed all the solder joints just to be sure. Plug the board into the connector and test it. If it's good, slide the board back in the enclosure. Really simple fix.
