Cool ABS and Park Brake lights

Well it's been a long time since I've signed in. Aways I have a 98 Dakota 3.9 liter 5 speed Standard. My issue is that the ABS and Park Brake light remain on after starting. This doesn't happen every time but it happens away too much.
Has anyone had this problem? Help would be appreciated.

rear wheel speed sensor, on top of rear axle in the middle, when ya pull it out look at it. Does it have like metal dust on it?? If so change out your your diff fluid and clean the magnet on bottom of axle housing, it' approx 2" x 2", what happens is the metal dust from your rear gear assembly fills up magnet,stops grabbin dust, gets to flowing around with oil, and that sensor is a lil magnetic deal and grabs all the particles and messes with all sorts of things like the abs light and your speedo, wifes truck and mine did the same thing lol they all do
