ABS Lights on and No Parking Break
Would my parking break light and ABS light on my dash come on if I don't have parking breaks.
Here's the deal. I don't have a diagnostic tool (I know, don't start spending money unless you know what the problem is) because I am a new "do it myself" mechanic and am just learning the importance of a diagnostic tool. Never once thought about getting it "coded", well until now. But, I read all the forums about the abs sensors and first replaced the rear differential abs sensor on my 2005 Ram 2500. Lights still on. Bought both the front sensors and replaced them, lights still on. When removing my calipers, it seemed both were not retracting all the way, so replaced both of them. This morning when I was moving the truck so my wife could go to work, I parked it in the drive way and pressed the parking break. It went completely to the floor and no breaks. I didn't have time to check the parking break because I had to go to work. Now, before I start spending more money I wonder if not having parking breaks could somehow make the parking break light and ABS light come on. It might be a long shot, but thought that while I am at work I would check with the experts (Dodge Forum members) first, just in case I needed to start looking there too. I have a friend that has a diagnostic tool and am hoping to meet up with him this weekend to have it "coded". Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
