Smile ABS and EBrake light on

Hello guys! I need to address another issue on my 97 5.9 ram, and it has to do with the abs and ebrake light on the cluster. I did replace the abs rear wheel sensor but the lights are stil on. I have yet to look at the fuses on the inside dash. Also where is the abs module located? Thanks in advance for your help!

Even if it's a 4x4, it could still be 2 wheel ABS for the rear wheels only. You can check to see if the truck has 4 wheel ABS by checking to see if there is wiring coming from wheel sensors in the front wheel bearing area on both front sides of the truck.

If its 2 wheel abs, there isn't one, just a dump valve.

That dump valve on my truck is just off to the side of the master cylinder. It should have an electrical wire or two going to it as well. It kinda looks like a proportioning valve that is plumbed into the rear metal brake line.

So its safe to say that it is a 2 wheel abs. We looked at the front wheels and did not see any sensors, and I also looked at the fuses in the cabin or on the side of the dash and they looked good. what would you advise I do next? Thanks.
