Breaks binding,dash break light on and abs light on
The ABS and break light popped on 4 years ago and never affected anything,last month the front passenger break was pinching and was hot when I was home and stopped,then a week later front right started grinding,I took off tire and seen the U-Joint was blown so I did the U-Joint and seen the break calipers had cracked pistons but worked,then I did the front passenger U-Joint,things were fine a few days then more pinching so I did the calipers on both sides,things seem fine but lights on dash still on. Took it up the hwy and pinching then the drivers front wheel bearing blew,got a huge tow bill and put in a new wheel bearing on drivers side.Today drove half hour and more pinching,both fronts are heated,the break light is on the dash and ABS light even after the computer reset ?????? Any reason why both sides would still be pinching???? And why the lights remain on the dash????
From digging myself,I see trouble with the flexhose line is an issue with these,seems a defect from the hose clamp that makes the hose chocked out. I will look around on mine and see if that is the problem and fill anyone in.
The flex lines break down internally with age, and it essentially becomes a one-way check valve. If one is bad, replace ALL of them.
ABS and Brake light being on could be any number of things. Knowing what year your truck is, and 2 or 4 wheel ABS would help.

Seriously contaminated brake fluid. My dad mistakenly put power steering fluid in the brake reservoir. Brakes locked in the driveway with gelled brake fluid. Fully.
Got it moving. His mechanic replaced master cylinder, thoroughly flushed the system, properly bled with Chrysler scanner.
The hideously expensive 4 wheel ABS module was not replaced. For couple months the truck alternated on occasion between almost no brakes and random wheel brake sticking as the gelled bits worked their way through the ABS. Likely not your problem, but worth looking into.

I replaced the front flexhoses and even bought new banjo bolts,even though I just put on new calipers last couple weeks,drained out the old fluid,put in fresh dot4 and the abs and break light are still on the dash,no codes,I reset the computer. Drove it today for half hour,the wheel bearings felt a little warm and the disks on the front were a bit hot. I have checked fuses,wires ect. Still the abs and brake lights are still on. I unhooked both batteries positive and negative to rest over night and see if the lights still on when I power it all back up in the morning. I just can't figure this out?
I unhooked the batteries over night and reset the system,the brake and abs lights are still on and the airbag light but that is a recall issue. I tested the wheel speed sensors and they all check out fine,only thing I can think of is the abs module is not working or the abs module needs a code reader to wipe the abs module clean.

At this point I have no idea what is wrong. I got a code reader and no codes,but knew that from reading the key codes,I do a reset from the key and nothing,but today a key reset and I get AC and different numbers every time then a 67-25 and then again a 67-30 , I think 67 is door lock ground or something,but my doors are manual not electric???? No 30 is listed in the c-code list. My hubs get warm and the front discs seem to have heat to the touch and I got the abs and break light on,the airbag light goes out for a few seconds and comes back on but the airbags are a recall. I have no idea what is going on or why I still have abs issues and no codes. I put in new dot4 break fluid after draining the old,got new front break flexhoses,new banjo bolts,new calipers,new hubs,new ujoints,tested all three speed sensors and they work. What could it be at this point????
