When I had my calipers replaced along with pads, and rotors. Afterwards, when I got my car back, my drum brakes no longer work when the pedal is depressed. Only when the e-brake is used. As such, when I first start the car, and pull out from say a parting spot, going forwards, most of the time the ABS Relay will click, and engage normally (meaning it's functioning fine). However sometimes, it will click three times, turn on the ABS light AND the e-brake light. This is very very annoying to be driving down the road with my Brake light and ABS light on all the time. Usually, I can just shut down the car, and it will reset and resume normal functioning. However, tonight it did not. It kept coming on, over and over reset after reset. I eventually gave up and just drove home.
Now, my question. What the @!#$ is going on?!?!?! It's pissing the hell off.
Anyway, any help would great.
Did you have it done at a shop? If so, take it back to them and tell them to fix it.

I will be taking it back to them, and yes they did it.
I'm just wondering what the hell it is.
I haven't been able to take it back because I've been working everyday, and I need my car to work.
Replacing calipers, pads, and rotors has nothing to do with ABS lights. You will have to pay for that work, and since they only worked on your front brakes, your rears being out of adjustment has nothing to do with the work they did either. Just so you know, because you sound like your expecting to get it fixed for free, when in-fact you will not.

Eh, I don't expect to get anything fixed for free. Unless it was like the time when my shop put a new drive shaft in my truck, and they forgot to put the centering C-clips on the shaft. I was stuck in the middle of the highway with my drive shaft hanging off. They fixed that for free and payed for the tow. It was their fault it happened.
Anyway, My whole reason for this post to to see if anyone had any idea as to why the drums would not engage when the pedal is depressed. I know that is what is causing the ABS and brake lights to come on.
