Effen ABS light
My ABS and brake lights come on intermittently and I can't make them stop. I have no braking problems except for the lights.
I have removed the front ABS sensors and cleaned them and their mounting surfaces. The resistance of both sensors are within normal range. Both front hubs feel fine. What now?

Mine has done the same thing. It was first traced back to a ground issue for the ABS module underneath the truck right under the drivers seat. I was told that fixing the ground for the ABS module is usually 9 out of 10 times the issue but it turns out mine is the ABS module. They can be very expensive to replace if the ground issue wasn't the fix.
There are a few options if it is bad.
Junkyard and risk picking up a broken one (probably around 50-70 bucks)
Mail it off to be rebuilt (around 150 bucks but comes with warranty)
Deal with not having ABS (your call but thats currently what im doing)
I am looking to mail it off but have been way too busy to even think about taking it off.

If it isn't the ground and it does need a module, then modulemaster dot com should be the place that rebuilds them IIRC. I had mine replaced by the dealer some years ago when it went bad and kept the ABS actuator running constantly, my buddy who is a service writer there goodwill warranted it for me, saving me a ton of dough
