I been through forums up and down first I've actually made an account because first time ever I can't find a solution. 1997 ram 1500 5.2l 4x4 slid in the rain on my way to work since then abs and brake light are on! Autozone scanner shows no stored abs codes and everything works as should fluid is where it needs to be fuses are all good speedometer works RWSS and wiring is okay. Didn't slide into the bushes. Simple 360° lights are on won't go off! HELP please and thank you!!

 

Will the autozone scanner actually read ABS codes??

 

Showed that it read okay cake back green check on the printout. I did try scanning with an obd2 reader at my job that scans abs and said it couldn't read

 

Check that the EBrake isn't slightly depressed. Make sure your brake lites work properly. Didn't blow the rear line did it??

 

E brake cable is non existent been snapped since I bought it. No obvious fluid leaks check reservoir every evening no level change I haven't had the change to pull rear wheels to check wheel cylinders. But with circumstances I slid they came on end of story. I feel like a light clear would keep them away?

 

Have you tried clearing the computer? via removing battery cables and touch them together for about a minute? Not sure if there is a idle relearn procedure.

 

Never heard of the procedure you have just said bit I have disconnected the battery and turned the ignition to on position to drain all stored power lights still on you can clear engine light that way not abs or brake light from my knowledge

 

It drains all the voltage in any capacitors.

 

Wouldn't disconnecting battery and turning ignition on do the same thing drains all.power? I have yet to.find a way to manually reset abs brake light

 

The lights still being on means the condition still exists.....

The ABS lite will come on with the brake light, regardless of what the fault condition is. Trouble is, there's a fair few things that can turn on the brake lite..... I don't think the 97's had the brake fluid level sensor..... So, that leaves e-brake, proportioning valve, brake switch..... and probably some others I can't remember right now.

Your truck 2 or 4 wheel ABS?
