I thought you were 4 wheel abs that was my fault. I found out that I'm getting fluid to the wheel cylinders but none coming out the bleeder so I'm going to replace them. Seems it might be my ABS and Brake light on have to check the abs bulb

Should be on in the acc key spot if bulb is good.

Yeah it's not lighting up at all so I am sure it's bad. Which then opens up another can of worms

Not really. A failure in the ABS system will turn on both lights. A failure in the hydraulic system will also turn on both lights..... Its one right from the department of redundancy department.

Its down on the left, not on the cluster, next to "low washer" light just to be sure you're looking in the right spot, it should come on and then go away.

Edit: oh maybe not in the 2001, not sure, forgot there was two interiors lol

I know where it's at I was just saying if it's in they means ABS issue instead of brake issue, which in my opinion is worse

According to my FSM only BRAKE light will light up if it's just a brake problem

A brake problem will **** off the ABS as well..... My truck demonstrated that for me. Popped a brake line, both lights came on.
