The parking and abs light comes on after about two minutes of run time. Brakes appear to be working properly. What could cause this?

It is likely the EBCM it can cost a bit to fix. Have it scanned at Autozone or a GM dealer. Your brakes will function fine if it is but you will have no anti lock brakes.

Something in the ABS is amiss. You will need to have it hooked to a scan tool that can read ABS codes to find out why it is coming on.

Sounds like you ABS is working correctly, the light will come on when the system is activated, and from the sounds of things(oil pan broke) it did. Were the rotors for the brakes checked for run out? Sounds like a warped or bent rotor. If you were having problems with the ABS the light would stay on, deactivating the system.

My brake and anti brake lights stay on all the time

CHECK ALTERNATOR OUTPUT IT SHOULD BE 13.5 TO 14.5 VOLTS WITH ENGINE RUNNING.IF VOLTAGE LOWER 12 VOLTS THAT WILL CAUSE BRAKE AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHTS TO COME ON BECAUSE THAT NOT ENOUGH POWER FOR ABS BRAKES OPERATION.IF ALTERNATOR GOOD.BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS ON ALSO MEANS LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL.ALSO. YOU HAVING BRAKE FAILURE.YOU NEED TO HAVE GARAGE OR DEALERSHIP CHECK BRAKES SYSTEM.BEFORE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAIL.

2003 Mountaineeer wont shift into Park

There is a shift interlock mechanism that only alows the key to come out in park. It is the same mechanism that will not let you put it into gear unless you put your foot on the brake. You cannot safely bypass it.

Dodge Ram 1500 brakes

Your ABCM probably needs to be replaced. Cost for this is usually 500$. Most of the time you can drive it just fine, however, if you come into a situation where you need your anti-lock brakes they might not work properly.

The ABS light comes on after driving 100-300 meters

By the sound of it, the ABS is showing failure, this can be due to moisture in the brake fluid, you may need to get the brakes fully bled to remove any moisture. Once the car warms up, the manifold vacuum is kicking in for your brakes to work properly, and this is usually when problems show up. Could also be that there is a vacuum leak somewhere between engine manifold and the brake assist unit. The ABS is simply lighting up to say that something isnt right. If bleeding the brakes doesnt fix it, the next step is to search the rubber vacuum line/s between the power brake unit and the engine intake manifold. If there is no problem there, could simply be an electrical fault that would be a 20 minute job for an auto electrician.

Abs and parking brake lights come on and stay on

There is probably a problem with you anti lock brake system. Have it checked at your local dealership. Brakes are a problem that should never be let go.
