You may check the preeure sensor on the master cylinder. Also, if the switch for the parking brake is stuck closed, or if the ABS speed sensor or monule have failed, it could have cuased these sysptoms.

SOURCE: dash warning light

on the 93 there is a problem with the abs system. there are several things that could be wrong. if i remember correctly the module is behind the passenger side kick panel. you will find a single wire coming off the module. if you ground it then turn on the key it will flash the brake lights in the dash. count the flashes this is the code for the error. it will help in the repair. as for the second truck you have a leak that needs repaired.

when brake light is constantly on it normally means the rear brake light dont work (bulb blown) ABS normally means sensors pushed too far or teeth on abs cv axle could be damaged or bent. check that first.

SOURCE: no brake lights

Crossed up live wires with ground on the trailer harness, check the truck fuses for the lights they might be blown.

How do i adjust parking brake cable on 99 dodge dakota with rear drums?

first check that the cable to either side moves freely when you pull the cable down. You will hear the brake shoes move in the drum. Next where the cable goes through a angled section from one wheel to the other and where the lever cable attaches to this point there will be an adjustable bolt for the lever cable . adjust this nut until there is about 3-4 clicks on the hand brake lever ratchet. When finished jack up one side and ensure that the wheel spins freely with the hand brake in the off position.

Parking brake stuck

where the cables connect to the rear parking brake shoes is like a hook shape waht iv seen happen is thay rust and stick after being aplied only real fix is to remove and free them up and re assemble the parking brake taking the cables off wont release the shoes from teh drum and will cause more damage in more parts will be needed to compleat the repair

Need instructions for installing parking brake shoes on a 2001 Dodge 3500 pickup

This is a big job for such a small part. I suggest you repair/replace rotors, pads, and anything else back there while you are at it. You will need to remove both wheels on both sides, as well as the axles (I think). See my earlier post on Rear Rotor removal to see how this is done.

You will need a large spindle nut to remove the axles.

DISASSEMBLY:
Once you have access to the parking brakes inside the rotor hat:
1. Lock out the parking brake w/a pair of Vise grips (on the parking brake cable under the cab)
2. Disengage teh park brake cable from behind the rotor assembly to allow easier disassembly of the parking brake shoes.
3. Disassemble the rear park brake shoes.

REASSEMBLY:
1. Reassemble the rear parking brake shoes. This is a typical, small brake drum configuration. Do one side at a time - so you can see how to reassemble each small part. Keep the springs and parts oriented the same: front to front and interior to interior, etc.
2. Release the parking brake cable
3. Install the disc brake rotor(s)
4. Install the disc brake caliper(s)
5. Install tire & wheel assembly
6. Lower the vehicle

When I apply the brakes on my '02Dakota only the forward brake shoe moves against the drum. Have replaced wheel cylinder but makes no difference. Both shoes move when I loosen adjuster cable. Have this...

you mean parking brake cable? loosen parking brake cables put drums on , and adjust shoes till they lightly drag, now apply brakes a few times and check the adjustment again, if all ok, now adjust park brake cables, you want to adjust so park pedal goes 5-8 clicks till the wheels are "locked up" and the wheels spin free with the park brake off
