1996 1500 ABS & Brake lights on after installing aftermarket stereo
Hey everyone, I have a 1996 Dodge RAM 1500 2WD Reg Cab. I purchased and installed an aftermarket stereo yesterday and installed it, then drove to Advanced to buy and install a turn signal bulb. My brakes worked fine on the trip there, but after I replaced the turn signal bulb and fired my truck up, the ABS & Brake lights were on and my brake peddle was soft. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the installation of the stereo, but after looking through the manual, it did mention that high frequency radios can interfere with the ABS system. Any ideas on what the problem may be?

so you think it is simply coincidence that it happened almost immediately after installing a stereo? i will look into the brake line and see if it has broken, other than that, i see that wheel sensor is also a common issue with these symptoms, but my speedometer is working fine. im was thinking i may have blown a fuse because i actually didnt disconnect the battery when i installed the stereo. i am also running the grounds (there are two, one for the amp and one for the stereo) to the mounting bracket screws because they aren't long enough to attach to anything else, and i currently don't have a screw to fit in the stereo... not sure if this could be the problem or not

Impossible.
It runs above the gas tank. Just check for signs of a brake fluid leak along the rear line. Runs pretty much parrallel to the frame on the drivers side. (might even be IN the frame.....) If you find that it is indeed blown, just cut if off at both ends, and run some new line. Don't even bother with removing the old one. Use flare fittings to couple the lines. do NOT use compression fittings...... unsafe... not to mention not legal....
