Hey guys, help me out here.
Ive got a 97 ram 1500 sport 4x4, 5.2L. When I put my foot down on the brake, the brake engages... I release the brake and the brake releases BUT the E Brake light in my dash stays on... as does the ABS light on the dash.
E brake lines are in pretty bad shape... I wanted to make the E brake tighter but discovered they were frozen/rusty this weekend. Now all I want to do is fix this issue of having the light stay on when the brake is disengaged so that I can get an inspection sticker.

Any ideas how to shut this light off? Even more helpful, any ideas what I need to do to fix this issue? Its happened before.

 

Ive heard that the speed sensor in the rear diff will cause this but not too sure. Id let other chime in on it.

 

The ABS sensor on top of the rear diff can definitely cause this problem but there are a lot of other things that can do it as well. Use the search function on this forum. There are lots of threads about this. I put a new sensor in mine and turns out the only thing that was wrong was the wheel cylinders in the back were leaking badly.
