Posted last week about the ABS light being on , havnt fixed that yet . Now yesterday the brake light on the dash came on while driving, not braking . Brakes are acting fine , fluid level is good and emergency brake lever isn't depressed . Any ideas . 2002 Town and country

 

First things to check for electrical problems like those are the battery output, connectors, and wires. Another possible cause is the wiring under the fuse box, where corrosion is very common.

 

I unplugged the electircal connector at the master cylinder , light still on. So now I will check other connections ...

 

I disconnected both the emergency brake switch and the brake fluid level switch . Brake light stayed on with both .
I tested both of those switches with a multimeter and I'm getti g 5.8 volts not 12 on both .
Any idea ??

 

It's common for both lights to come on when the ABS fails. Have the ABS system scanned.

 

This is a common problem with Caravan's.

Could be a dirty ABS sensor. The ones on the back get dirty and can be cleaned or replaced.

When the light is on, do you still have ABS brakes? Is your pedal vibrating when you brake hard? If it is, it means you still have ABS brakes. If not, it means you have non-ABS brakes,, meaning the ABS system is not working.

 

Cougar ...taking it tomorrow to have the ABS scanned ..friend teaches auto shop at local school and they have a scanner for ABS ..didn't know the ABS issues would set both lights ...
Pedal doesn't pulsate , ABS isn't currently working

 

Pulled the codes from the ABS
- # 10 - ABS Valve Power Feed Malfunction ...could this be from pulling the fuse out to see if that set the light off ??I have no idea what this is ??

- # 2 ABS Left front speed / signal

- # 6 ABS left rear speed / signal
Is the left the drivers or passenger side as it differs depending on where you are ?

Once we cleared the codes BOTH the ABS and Brake light went out and when I drove it they BOTH came back on at the same time

 

Any ideas
