On taxi out; thrust lever check takeoff warning horn sounded. Found leading edge flap indicator circuit breaker out. Reset circuit breaker thrust lever check ok; continued taxi for takeoff. We were cleared for takeoff. After takeoff power was set; at approximately 90 KTS takeoff warning horn sounded; aborted the takeoff. We cleared the runway; obtained brake cooling data from opc; recommended 36 min brake cooling at the gate. We returned to the gate. We advised maintenance and dispatch. Logbook entry completed. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that one of the two flap control boxes had been changed the night before this flight. The newly installed box had an internal failure caused by the improper installation of the box's quick install handle shorting against some internal circuit board components. The control box was changed again and the flight continued.
