No brake lights...taillights...or tag lights...where is the fuse box on a 2002 kenworth t300 located?

Fuse box on my W-9 was under the hood on the firewall, yours may be in a similar location. However, after a hard winter's driving, I usually had one or more corroded wires in the rear exposed wiring harness, corroded connector or light assembly to repair due to the salt and calcium chloride they put on the roads eating up the wire covering and shorting out the wiring.

I have a 1999 dodge ram 3500 Diesel 4x4 and I go threw front pads and rotors. It sings when I'm driving down the road that the brakes are on could it be the master cylinder

YES IT COULD BE, BEST TO JACK VEHICLE UP AND SPIN WHEELS TO SEE IF THEY ARE BINDING.
IF SO CHECK CALIPERS WHERE PADS FIT SEE IF SEIZED ON SLIDERS.
ALSO CHECK FLUID LEVEL IF TO HIGH THE FLUID CAN NOT RETURN WHEN NOT PRESSED + SEE IF ITS BLACK FLUID NOT CLEAR, SIGNS OF CYLINDER FAILIURE

I got a problem my brakes are getting stuck i already change the calipers and the hoses know i'm thinking that is something to do whit the abs or u got a sugesstion 1994 subaru legacy 2.2 awd

Most likely, the caliper is stuck on its support pins and fails to slide on these anymore. (The amount of sliding moton, when the brakes are appplied, is very small.) When the caliper is frozen" on the pins, one brake pad wears much more than the other, and puts undue side thrust the rust on the rotor. This is a common problem in the "rust belt" where road salt is present (and yes, it can happen over just one winter season). If everything else about the caliper assembly is ok, the fix is to install new pins, bushings, pin seals, and brake pads. Also, lub the pin parts with appropriate grease at assembly.
