For the security light you need to replace the ignition lock cylinder or bypass the security system. For the other two, you need to have the car scanned to see what codes are in the ecm and the abs module.

    First you need to get an Ohm meter. Then take the ohm meter and measure
    the resistance of the pellet in your key. Write down the resistance you
    need, then go to Radio
    Shack or somewhere else that sells resistors. Buy the combination of
    resistors you need to match the resistance of your key. When you have
    it right resistance with in 5% tolerance, then remove the lower cover
    of your dash below the steering column. Locate the orange cable coming
    out of the steering column. Slice open the cable it should contain two
    small white wires. Cut the two wires, and splice in the resistor on the
    side that goes into the dash. Then tape up your resistors and zip tie
    them out of the way. That's it, the car will think it has the right key
    in all the time. The reason you haft to do this is because the contacts
    go bad in the ignition lock cylinder and then it doesn't send the right
    resistance. The alternative to all of this is replacing the lock
    cylinder and having it rekeyed with another key with the same
    resistance as your old key.

Does you car vibrate a little if so mabe you abs system is out which would cause the check engine light to stay on with the abs light. Once you fix the side that vibrates which is probbly the wheel bearings and the abs is connected and that will get the lights to go off or it has a bad connection test wires for abs with light idicator?

A yellow light stays on on instriment panel, no book to tell me what it is for

yellow light (check engine) (fuel) (abs) (e brake) these are the most common. Check engine usually looks like a little engine, fuel light is usually beside your fuel gauge, abs light usual is a circle and the ebrake light could be just a light

I have a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the ABS light constantly stays on. Had breaks done a year ago. any solutions?

Brake work has nothing to do with a check light
or ABS light on dash
You have an ABS System Malfuntion or failure
Retrieve the code,diagnose,and repair

Wheel Speed Sensors are common item to fail

You should have had this taken care of a long
time ago, as soon as the light came on

Abs and service light on constant,

I have a 1998 Renault Laguna 2.2DTi and on occasion the ABS warning light comes on. The reason for it is nothing to do with the ABS but the seat belt pretensioner. Where the seat belt clips in, there is a plastic moulding around the seat belt restraint, if you put your hand inbetween the seat cushion and the moulding you will feel various cables - if you play about with them, the warning light will go out!

How to change warning light bulbs, 97 Buick Lesabre Ltd

bulbs do burn out, but the dash will have places that are not always used for all models. i.e. if your car doesn't have ABS that light will not be used. To replace the bulbs you will need to remove the instrument cluster from the dash. its not to hard to do yourself, two phillips screwdrivers and some patience
