Brakes pulsate when coming to a stop. Replaced brakes, rotors, and brake lines, code c1266 abs valve power relay circuit failure. What does this mean and where is it located.

This means there is a wiring or issue with the ABS control module. Here is a wiring diagram of the system and a guide to help you do some easy testing.

If the wiring is okay and the module is proven to be bad here is a guide that will give you an idea of what you are in for when changing the unit out.
