Hi:
You should first check the level of the coolant in your radiator first thing, when your engine is cool. If it is low, add some coolant and check for leaks.
Next, take your vehicle to a local auto parts store, such as autozone, and they will scan your vehicle codes for free, and tell you what is causing the check engine light and ABS light. You can then decide what is up and what needs fixed first on your car.

ASB Dash light stays on, what do I do and how

You need your vehicle checked with a scanner that reads ABS codes. Not all scanners can read ABS codes. Most likely it's an ABS wheel sensor that's bad. I've changed a few of them on 02 & 03 Explorers.

Good luck.

How to reset ASB light and service brake system warning

Much like the check engine light, you would need to use a scanner to clear the codes from the body computer once the problem that turned on the warning lights was fixed. As long as the problem exists the lights will stay on.
You could try disconnecting the battery for an hour, but the engine computer will have to re-learn the basic settings for the engine when you start it.

My asb light comes on when starting and stays on. Lights won't come on , power locks won't work, power windows won't work, radio won't work. All fuses are good and car runs fine.

Those are all really common symptoms of the alternator going bad on those cars. I would have it checked to make sure it's charging properly.

Asb and parking brake dash lights are on

that light is not for the parking brake it is telling you that your truck has a brake problem. With the ABS light on that system is disabled so you are braking with a vehicle that doesn't have it.
1. check fluid low? y check pads and rotors low fluid indicates worn parts, or leaks.
2. have abs codes checked wheel sensors could have failed and rarely the ABS module. Wheel sensors are located near the wheels or in the rear differential

What is the check gauges light

CHECK GAGES light (1) indicates a potential engine failure(low oil pressure, low coolant, coolant overheating) has occurred.
· Check gages and shut down engine. Gages should read as follows: Oil pressure 5 to 10 psi (34 to 69 kPa) at idle; Water Temp gage below 230 degrees (110 C).
· Check engine oil level (Para 2-11) if OIL PRESS gage indicates low reading. Check coolant level (Para 2-11) if Water Temp gage indicates high reading. Notify Unit Maintenance if levels are low.

If CHECK ENGINE light (2) is on, check engine oil pressure gage (3) and water temperature gage (4). If both indicate normal, proceed with mission and then notify Unit Maintenance. If either one does not indicate normal, stop engine immediately and notify Unit Maintenance
