I have a 1997 f-250 heavy duty, 4x4, E4od transmission (about 1000 miles on rebuild), approximately 25,000 on Jasper 5.8l. Yesterday the abs light came on and the brake lights are also staying on, I have to pull the fuse to get the brake lights to go out. I know absolutely nothing about the ABS system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response. The two problems are completely unrelated. The brake light switch went bad, I should have checked that prior to posting, as far as the ABS light, it went out so I still don't have a clue as to what caused it to go on.

Every time you turn key on the system go throw a check list and if the switch was bad. This is why
good luck
