I don't know where this goes so i figured I just put it in here since I am from MO lol When I turned on my car the other night the ABS and Emergency parking lights came on and stayed on. I figured they go away once I started driving and they never did. They are still on and its been 5 days now. Any ideas what it is? I also changed head light bulbs so I don't know if that matters at all. Thank you much.

It soulds like an ABS control unit. If the ABS light is one that means somethign in the ABS system is messed up, usually a sesor or wiring that rubber through on a wheel ect... at that measn is the abs will not function (and usually that means no more tracation control as well) but if your brake light is on it means your at risk of your brakes not working. ABS light = no big deal brake light = get it checked out ASAP. I'd say try autozone where they do the free scans and see if they will scan the ABS, if theres faults post them up hear, if it can't cominicate then the control module is @!#$. Not sure how it is replace the control module for cavis but I knwo at work (VW) the module wasn't available alone, you hade to get the whole ABS pump and everythign all as one unit which was big big big money, it was liek a $2500 part, just recently they started offering the control unit seperate so its done to like the $500-$600 range. But yeah see if they can scan it and see what happens. Personally I've never worked on a car that had brake and abs light that wasn't a module but you never know.
it may be somethign as stupid as the brake fluid being low causing the brake light and a dead sensor causing the ABS light.
Ight thanx man. I really hope its just something simple lol

well i had some problems with mine to all mine was the sensor that plugs into the bottom of the strut or caliper was unplugged plugged it in and no more light
other than that i dont know hope you get it figured out
^^ thats not the same thing, ABS light will come onform the sensor not being pluged in, it wont cause a brake light
well i thought just maybe it was something simple as brake fluid i dont know why so i looked at the master cylinder and it was a little low so we added some but they are still on so they said they would have to run test that auto zone couldnt run so i leave thursday for 10 days so i will just mess wit it when i get bac. I really dont know what else to do. Later
