ABS light and hand brake

[98_mudboy]

hi all,
long time browser first time poster.
In my 98 GA GT the ABS light is on with the hand brake light as well. i can control the ets with the button, so thats ok, but i was wondering if any of you have seen this combo. i've been reading the forums and cant find the same combo. please help, its really buggin me
thanks

I would think it may be your parking brake sensor.

Yeah, I've seen this combo... its happens to me a lot. My cause seems to be that my back brakes/drums need to be replaced....when I pull up on the handbrake to stop, my car ain't stopping ;) if thats not your problem I'd say it would be the sensor

[98_mudboy]

ive changed my rear brakes and drums now but the lights are still on..
any other suggestions?

Your poor car, don't use the handbrake to stop :(

The "brake" light indicates 2 things...
1 - parking brake is set
2 - brake system malfunction

I would have the brake system check out ASAP.

umm, I never said I used the handbrake to stop, see once in a while if you don't use your handbrake that much, you should take it out in a desserted parking lot and stop using the handbrake, just to keep the parts free and remove and rust on the drums.

I had body fuse to go out on me causeing the abs light to come on
