Brakes

Howdy all...

My anti-lock brake light came on, and also the parking brake light is on. This comes on a few minutes after I've been driving...and stays on the whole time. Brakes seem to be working fine. Anybody have any ideas what might cause this, or how I can find out? Thanks! Hope everybody is doing well.

Either your speed ring in your rear end or your speed rings on your brakes (not sure the exact location, inside rotor's i think) are most likely dirty. They work on a magnet that will "pulse" your brakes for you and since they're magnets then little things of medal will get on them and ***** with them. I woud give them a good cleaning.

Thanks guys... I think that was more info than I wanted! I went out and drove her a couple of times since that day, and the brake lights come on intermittently. I don't know what the deal is. I'll try to do a self-test this weekend. Thanks again for the help!

On my 91 it was the speed sensor on the back of the transfer case, it also affected my transmission. $41.00 plus labor.

Check your brake fluid level as well. If it's a bit low when you get funny angles or turn sharp it may hit the sensor thingy.
