90% of the time its because of dirt/mud build up on the sensor if you need a quick fix just take this thing down to the local self wash and power was the inner wheel well behind the tire . do a little research on the location that way you'll know where they are before hand.

You need to take it to a shop that can read the ABS system, it is either a wheel sensor or the ABS controller itself

Abslight stays on. How to fix? This is a2007trailblazer?

First you need to have EBCM - electronic brake control module check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's . If the light is on there is a code stored . I think most part stores can do this and for free . After you find out what code is stored , looking up that code in service repair information for diagnostic trouble shooting chart would be next step . There are a few codes too.
DTC C0035 or C0040
DTC C0045 or C0050
DTC C0110
DTC C0131
DTC C0161
DTC C0186
DTC C0196
DTC C0201
DTC C0240
DTC C0241 or P0856
DTC C0244 or P1689
DTC C0245
DTC C0283
DTC C0287
DTC C0290 or C0292
DTC C0455
DTC C0550
DTC C0558

Find the code do the diagnostic's , fix the problem , wiring issue's , a sensor , bad module ,what ever it is . The light will go out then . Here is a sample of code discription .
• DTC C0035 Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit
• DTC C0040 Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit

Are the head lights on all the time 1999 chevy silverado 1500 4x4

In the 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500, the headlights are not designed to be on all the time by default. They are typically controlled manually by the driver using the headlight switch, although some vehicles may have a daytime running lights (DRL) feature. If the headlights are continuously on, it could be due to a modification or wiring issue, and it's recommended to consult the vehicle's manual and seek professional assistance if needed.

4x4 not engaging

Hi Gary, I think you may be referring to a 'fail safe' system. When turning on the ignition you will notice that the warning indicator lights on the dash come on indicating ABS, Traction Control, Air bags and so on. The fail safe system operates the warning lights, assuring the driver of the fact that at the time of start up all systems were operational. The lights will go out after a few seconds. If the 4 X 4 warning stays illuminated when the vehicle is in 2 X 4, have a diagnostic scan carried out. Regards John

My abs and brake light come on at the same time and stay on occasionally when I start my 2001 chevy silverado 4X4. If I turn the truck off and then restart it they will sometimes stay off.

Scan it,pull the codes when the lights come on and repair the ABS System. Most likely a Wheel Speed Sensor. Test all parts first,to determine if their bad. If you have no knowledge of these systems,take it to a shop.

2002 chevy hd duramax 4x4

Sounds like the PRNDL switch on the side of the transmission. Be sure and clear the code before trying to start after replacing it.

Have a 2002 silverado and my abs and brake light stays on and the brakes are fine, why?

The warning lights are indicating a malfunction has been detected in either the sensing or actuation portion of the ABS system. Your base brakes will function normally but in the event of an ABS controlled stop on an "icy" or "slippery" stretch of road were the ABS system would take over to prevent a skid, that automatic system will not function.
Have the vehicle scanned for trouble codes to find out which portion of the system has malfunctioned.
Good luck,
Regards,

2001 chevy silverado 4x4 abs dash light wont go off

Once the ABS light is on there is a problem with the ABS system. You can't really guess with this stuff. Also it becomes a safety issue when abs light is on the ABS system is in-operable. Here is my advice take your vehicle to any AUTO-ZONE store and they will check for FREE and let you know why this light is on it could be anything form abs sensors(wheel sensors) or something like that, they are four of them one in each wheel so make sure to get exact info as to what is the exact code and meaning. Good Luck feel free to contact t me if ou need more info
