1996 Ram 1500 regular cab with the RWAL. Both the ABS light and the brake light are on and I could use some guidance determining exactly what the cause is.


I have watched numerous videos and read as much as I can on this topic on forums and such, but I can't seem to find out exactly what's going on.

Perhaps a clue is that I had reset the codes by disconnecting the battery for a time, and the lights came back on just from turning the key to the on position ( not even starting the vehicle or pressing the brake ).


I've watched videos on how to trigger the system to start blinking to display the code, but I can not locate the ( wire ? connector ? ) to ground out the pin / wire to trigger this behaviour. The videos are not exactly clear where that connector is. I'm not even sure my truck has it.


I'd like to know if there is a way to test the electrical ABS valve body. I've found the ABS ("CAB" ) controller in the dash, but I don't know how to test that either.


But perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree anyway ? I'm trying to pinpoint the problem without just throwing parts at it.

Thanks for any guidance here.
