Default Dash lights



In the process of getting my 08 1500 certified

The amount of dash lights concern me. As you all can see the ABS, ESP and service 4wd lights are on

The previous owner did quite a number on the old girl though it was mostly front end related. In the rear driver side he broke a break line and just capped it instead of fixing it so the abs and esp are obviously acting up. From what I’ve looked up those lights can cause 4wd issues. The truck won’t switch out of 4 low hence the serv 4wd light.

I’m doing all the work it needs myself because I don’t have much of a budget. So I was wondering if the issues will resolve themselves after I replace the line. Or will I need to bring it to a mechanic for an expensive service.

If you guys want the whole list of repairs let me know. I wouldn’t mind a couple tips

Replace the line, make the breaks and abs work the way they are supposed to. If the problems the lights are whining about are resolved, the lights should go out.....

i know it’s been a couple months but I got the lights off. Turns out the service 4x4 was because the transfer case shifted motor was cracked in half and the abs and related lights were caused by a brake in the speed sensor wiring above the rear diff. It goes in for the inspection on Monday so wish me luck
