Parking Brake Light & ABS Light On
Hello everyone,
I have a '99 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport. The ABS and Parking brake dash lights came on about 2 months ago. I was driving down the road after those dash lights came on and the power steering went out and the engine stalled while I was on the highway. Got it back home and replaced the rear ABS sensor. Then, the dash lights went off and I figured the problem was solved. The truck ran well with no dash lights for about two weeks, but today I started the truck and the ABS and Parking brake dash lights are back on. Any ideas of what to check/replace next? I appreciate any and all suggestions! |

Sorry, I'm not very mechanically literate. How do I "ground pin 13"? I'm familiar with the OBD2 port and have a reader, but it just directed me toward the Rear ABS sensor before I replaced it the first time. Also, my reader will only work when the check engine light is on and it hasn't turned on yet.

I believe I did what you suggested, but I didn't see the ABS Light flash at all. Here's a video of what I did: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IH...sRRiJOE6hJibRH
I was looking at the dash right when I removed it; did it several times with no luck. Also, the dash lights are randomly off again now. Should the ABS light only flash if there's something actively wrong? Maybe I need to wait until those dash lights come on again? |

I think the bigger issue is that the Engine stalled while driving down the highway.

Update to this... Still no dash lights on. Took it for a drive this morning and the ABS is kicking on when I go to stop and I"m under 10mph.
So it looks like I fixed the issue of the rear ABS sensor but created a whole new issue somehow. Perhaps I need to replace both sensors at front wheels as well since I replaced the rear abs sensor? |

Pulled ABS fuse out and that makes the ABS light come on. No issues with fuses. What do you mean by headlight switch?
