I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab pickup. I went camping over the weekend and while driving home the ABS/Brake warning light came on. I knew that my brake fluid was a little low so I stopped filled it and continued to drive. The warning lights continued to stay on and I noticed that the actual tail lights stayed on the whole time.( My brake lights didn‘t work). Even with the car off. I had to disconnect the battery. Any Ideas what could be causing this?
This was tremendously helpful as serving to to diagnose the concern! Our 2007 Camry began to have problems after a brake job within the back. It has been intermittently going wacky. Sometimes it labored most occasions now not. It was advocated by means of the vendor to interchange the $5000 ABS brake actuator process. I began with exchanging the ABS/tempurture manage pc that is under the passenger dash and it had no result. I made up our minds to get some electrical contact cleaner thinking that perhaps the connector was once soiled causing the partial connection. However, once I was once down looking at the connections and sensors I discovered the left driver aspect connector was once no longer thoroughly seated. It gave the look to be set but when you pulled, the connector would come off. Sincerely the rubber throughout the connector got squished to the again of the connector, causing the connector to no longer entirely click into position. Correcting the connector in order that it clicked into position entirely solved the drawback! Simple as that however hard to search out. I inspiration it perhaps an easier situation to begin diagnosing. Hope it helps. Thanks once more, Caleb Kelsay
Low brake fluid is most commonly associated with well worn brake pad/shoes. Rarely is it caused by a leak. When the brake fluid gets too low, air gets into the brake lines. This upsets the balance of brake line pressure between the two halves of the brake system. Some brake lights operate from a switch on the brake pedal. Other designs operate from a pressure switch on the ABS controller. I don't know about your truck. Check a maintenance/service manual. Get the brakes serviced.
