My ABS light stays on. It appears that my brakes are fine. Why does the light stay on? My radio display light does not come on. When I'm driving at night, I cannot read the channels because the radio is playing but is has no light. The dimmer wheel only works on the dashboard part that shows the speedometer, etc. What is the problem?

The back light on the radio is probably bad and sounds like there is an issue with your ABS system. When the light is lit your ABS is disabled. Does not mean that your brakes will not work, it means that your anti-lock brakes will not work.

Sounds like you have some major fuse blowout issues. Ther are fuses under the dash, and fuses under the hood. But before you play with the ones under the hood, be sure to disengage the battery terminals. Check all the fuses. Check out the fuse layout to ensure you have all the ones you need. Can get replacement fuses at any autozone or whatever. This is the cheapest and easiest start to finding out your problem. It is time consuming, but you may also find out any other problems before they hit you at a later time. IE, for ford explorers, there has been a problem with the rear wiper motor going out and causing a battery drain that will kill it within 24-36 hours if the fuses are not pulled for the rear wiper motor. Hopefully this helped some. If not, I am sorry to say it may be a more expensive fix. Sounds electrical, I know autozone will do a free power diagnostic check on the truck. After that, good luck!

Assalamualykum.

Bro I had the same problem and the car is under repair now.

Check three points. 1) FUSES 2) ABS MUDULATOR 3) SPEED SENSOR

In most case it is the ABS MODULATOR, due to heating.

SOURCE: abs brake problem

I found my solution on the web a few years ago. My 2002 RVS had permanent ABS lights and no ABS.

It was suggested to check the ABS electrical connections at the brake disks . There are quick connects there and I found a corroded connector on the front passenger side. My wife started the RVS and put it in gear. With the brake pedal pressed, I wiggled the connectors and the ABS light went "off and on" right away. I replaced the connector and it never happened again. It is likely 4 years ago.

Worth a try.

ABS light on

Did you bleed your brakes? If you didn,t there is air in the lines ,This will cause the light to stay on, Or you might have a (Faulty) ABS sensor on one of the brakes,

ABS light stays on - can you unsolder relay in ECM with common iron.

ABS light on did they check codes ? The light staying on an no codes is usually a insturment cluster problem not the EBCM - electronic brake control module . No relay in side the module , a transistor or diver as they call them . This transistor will supply a ground on a electrical circuit from the brake lamp driver module ,when it does this the brake lamp driver module ground a electrical circuit for the ABS light . If anything is bad causing the ABS light to stay on it would be the brake lamp driver module . Your best bet ,take it to a GM service dept.

Abs light on

Have to get it into a shop and get the codes read,could be dozens of reasons.
However don't worry about the braking system,if the red brake lite is out
the abs lite means the anti-lock will not operate.But the base brakes will work fine.(you will be able to lock the wheels up if you hit the brakes too hard is all)
