well I still have no ABS relays or relay wiring? whats up with that?
and yeah it kicks in every time i stop hard on my van but never had it kick in on the truck.... PO said the truck had all new brakes and they looked new upon visual inspection...they work ok...

unrelated interesting fact about were the rams now come from
.... while reading up on wikipedia it seems dodge did a flip flop on ram production.... most of the older 1500's were made in mexico and the heavier 2500-3500 were made in the us..... but according to wik, the all (4) of the newer heavier lines are now made in mexico with the 1500's made in the states.... weird...

Before you bother spending money and time, first try resetting the computer. See if the light comes back on or if the ABS still doesn't work right.

and all the wiring and spade connectors in the relay slots?.....then why would he leave a good fuse in the abs fuse panel..... just seems weird to me i wish all the lights came on when you first insert the key to test them like some other makes...

Hey guys...our trucks, with the RWAL ABS have a bit of a different setup,...that's why there's only the control module under/side of your master cylinder Auggie, [long time anyways Auggiedoggie...last time I talked to you...I wasn't a member here yet], anyways..here's a pic to ponder over,..and a link to read, [actually..the controversial tal;k about RWAL and accidents...don't take it to heart [think about how many vehicles have it...*e.g: 1989 dodge's-1997...[1998 year model changed to 4-wheel ABS by Kelseyhayes], about 1/4 million trucks times 9 years!...compared to fatalities...read the link...http://www.aa1car.com/library/abs_kelseyhayes_rwal.htm [click on 1st choice].
