ABS and Parking Brake lights stay on

My ABS and Parking Brake lights on my dash stay on and while they are on my AC/Heater wont work. The lights sometimes go off after driving for a bit and the AC works fine. Seems like there is a short somewhere. I don't know. I replaced the Brake Light Switch and it the same problem still occurs.

    My ABS and PARKBRAKE lights stay on, and when they do my A/C blower will not work, and my cruise control doesnt work. This happens all the time when I start the truck but goes off from time to time when I'm Driving, and other times it does not turn on when i start the truck. When I use my command start the blower will come on even if the ABS light is on, and it turns off as soon as i adjust the blower fan level. What is the problem?

    When an abs light comes on it means that the computer has shut the abs system off, as it usually stays on once you start the car. That in turn triggers the parking brake light. You have a voltage problem in your truck and the cars computer is reading the fluctuations and responding by activating and shutting down certain parameters of the circuit in your car.. Check your charging , battery , and voltage regulator in your truck.

The abs light is telling you that there is a problem with brakes etc, that is why brake light is on as well. The abs going off after a while is heat in the disc expanding and once cooled light will cone back on. Check abs sensors on wheels.

You need to replace the bulbs behind the heater control. The bulbs have rather large filaments, and hitting the control sometimes makes the filaments "weld themselves" back together for a short time. I would not suspect a short or a loose wire.

SOURCE: Dash lights, parking lights & interior lights don't work

Somebody left a wire harness unplugged. Look under the dash around the steering column, find something dangling that will fit into something else dangling. Undangle by connecting.
Or:
Take it back to whomever changed the steering sensor, their bad!

SOURCE: started car and have ABS, BRAKE, and airbag lights on in dash. Also the electric locks don't work as well as the heater controller. Please help!! There is no fuses blown either

Hello This sounds like a bad earth or a wire has broke. Check any wires that go through the A post to the door. Opening and closing the door makes these wires brittle, especially the black one which is the thickest and can cause all kinds of strange problems. Move back the rubber cover and move each wire. If this does not help ask me again and I will try to give you some more pointers.

ABS light stays on if car is started with parking brake engaged.

The ABS light illuminates when there is an "out of specification" condition. From your description, it sounds like your parking brake cable may require tightening, or there may be an issue where the rear brakes are not properly releasing when the parking brake is released. With car that is nearly 20 years old, it is not inconceivable that the rear brakes and parking brake assembly may require regular service.

A good first step would be to have error codes read out by a local mechanic or auto parts store. This may give you a better indication of the specific problem. In any case, ANY brake warning should be taken VERY SERIOUSLY and corrected IMMEDIATELY, as you may have a potentially dangerous potential of catastrophic brake failure. PLEASE GET THE ISSUE FIXED RIGHT AWAY!

What causes the dash brake indicator to stay on?

First of all, the abs problem... NO do not start there, start with checking your brake fluid.. thats the number one cause for that light and no other lights on your dash to be on... if that is your problem fill it up and address the brake leak... brake fluid doesnt evaporate and your car doesnt use it up. if its low its going some where best way to do this is park on a clean surface or slide cardboard under your car pump your brakes 10 times and then examine the cardboard or move the car and look for wet spots that wernt there before or you could also have a friend lay on the ground a few feet back and look for drips while your pressing the brake pedal careful not to get any brake fluid in the eye it burns like no other... if you find a leak have it fixed if you dont it might still be a internal leak into the power brake booster and you should have someone look at it NORMALLY when you have a ABS problem with you car BOTH THE ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT will be on not just one but the other awnsers could be correct too the brake indicator light does come on when the emergancy or parking brake is enabled try pulling the release and pull up on the parking brake pedal at the same time.. or if its a center parking brake push it all the way down with the button pushed

1994 dodge dakota my headlights and tail lights and brake lights don't work my abs and parking brake lights are on my dash lights don't work either I replaced the headlight switch and still no

These are all different circuits. The brake lights are on a 10amp fuse - the headlights are on a 50amp fuse - and the parking and dash lights are on a 20amp fuse.
Do you have power going into the headlight switch and the brake light switch ?

I have just replacep brake pads on the rear but the light wont go out on the dash how do i turn it out

What light on the dash are you talking about? There is no light that comes on notifying you that you need to replace brake pads. If you are talking about the ABS light, that is something totally different and if your parking brake is on that probably signifys your parking brake is not totally released. If it's your ABS light, that is just telling you your antilock brakes are not working properly and is usually a dirty sensor or something.

Hope this helps

My 1995 honda preludes emergency brake doenst work, when you pull it up it comes up easy and the break light does come on, also my ABS light is on and wont turn off

The parking brake problem could be rear brakes out of adjustment, a broken parking brake cable, or a parking brake cable in need of adjustment.

The ABS light mosy likely has nothing to do with your parking brake problem and will have to be diagnosed by first gathering the ABS fault codes from the ABS computer.

Brake light on vehicle lit up on dash

check the parking brake sometimes a slight bump can make that light come on... pull it up then disengage it roll the car back and forth and see if it goes out.. 2nd make a heavy salt and water solution and completely drench the brake calipers with it move vehicle back and forth working brake...then spray off immeaditaly with a hose... this should clean up the abs sensors... if ithe light still stays on it may be a malfuction in the cars obds ( on board diagnosis systems..) unpluge positive termianl from your car let it set off for like 3 mins then put it back and start car see if the light stay on after you take it for a drive... if none if these work take to your dealer ship to replace the abs sensors... it wont be cheap....

Good luck.. Hope it fix's'ya!!
