The ABS warning light is on, brakes seem fine, fluid level is fine. Cannot find a leak. Strangley though I have no brake lights or turn signals, also the cruise control has ceased to function. All symptoms accured, as best I can tell is when the ABS warning light came on. Maybe a two part problem but I do have the marker or running lights still working. I inspected/tested all fuses and wiring on the master cylinder. Need help. THANX.

The ABS light indicates a malfunction in the system. This could be because you have no brake lights so I would resolve that issue first. It sounds like you may have a wheel speed sensor that is out. These videos will help us find the problem.

Please run down these guides and report back.

If your 3rd (high mount) brake light works, then you could have a bad turn signal switch. If not, check you brake light switch for power in and out.

Thanx so far, but I am an RV guy and need a bit more detail if you could. Location of turn signal switch and "HOW" to test. Same for brake light switch. I appreciate your time and am more than willing to compensate.

The turn signal switch switch is right at the end of the turn signal level in the steering column.

The brake light switch is under the dash where the brake pedal can contact it.
