i was pulling a flatbed trailor with my 93 dakota and pinched the wiring harness on the trailor causing a short.. it blew a couple of fuses and i got them replace, one being the dash lights. but now my abs and brake warnign light stays on and i had it checked by an elctrical place and they said it was in the brake system. brakes are ok. fluid level ok. brake job doine a month ago. never had lights on till the fuse blew the other night. any ideas? thanks in advance!

 

Hey blackie, I have a 93 Dakota also and after I did a brake job including purging the lines and refilling, my abs and park brake warning lights were on permanently. Two garages told me that there is a shuttle valve in the line that must be returned to the neutral position but with the fluid topped off this should happen automatically by just pushing on the brake pedal as hard as you can. This did not solve my problem. After about a month I discovered that my rear brake lights were out also. I replaced the fuse and lo and behold the abs and park dash warning lights went out and my rear brake lights came on. I bet its your fuse.

 

I have a 91 dodge dakota my lights also came on and i do not know why.
I took the cables of the battery pushed the brake peddle to the floor hooked the battery backup and the lights were off.

 

if your warning buzzer doesn't work either then check the fuse for that and the rear wheel anti-lock and brake lights it is probably blown
