Default Brake and Anti Lock ligths are on.

I just bought a 1990 Dodge Ram Van 250. The Brake light and the Anti Lock warning lights on the dashboard is always on. It happened when the fuse for the cigarette lighter blow up. I changed the fuse, then the lights started to shhow. The Van runs excellent. Can I reset this? How can I reset the lights,

On top of the rear differential there's an electrical sensor (ABS / Wheel speed sensor). Replace it!! I'm willing to bet that the cruise control is inop also.

Sorry. The Cruise Control is working. Anyway, this new thing happens now along with this problem. Check engine came on. Check the error and stated: 37/---- PTU SOlENOID

Since the cruise control works, I went ahead and changed the ABS sensor that's on top of the differential. the lights did not go away. HELP

Check the fuse for the ABS. I believe there's actually 2 of them. It's been a while since I've worked for Dodge. Anyway, I believe the fuses are located in the PDC under the hood. Feel free to email me if I can help anymore ( xmax76@hotmail.com )

My van has the same problem, and I'd be thankful if it were just blown fuses. What is a PDC??

The PDC is the "Power Distribution Center". If you look under the hood, there's a black box with a cover on it. it'll also have a wire leading from the battery to it. That is where all the wire harnesses get their power.

You can try clearing the trouble codes by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for about 30 seconds and seing what comes back. Aslo this may seem silly for the ebrake light, but pull up on the ebrake. you my be getting a false indication from the switch that it located on the ebrake itself.
