Best Answer

The most common cause is a bad wheel sensor

if the abs light is on, this means that there is a problem in the anti locking brake system

the brakes will work but at some time they will let you down.take it and get it fixed before ya kill someone

the lights are there for a reason. lights on dash were nicknamed idiot lights

they are put there so idiots get the problem fixed

=========================================================

In my case the ABS light came and stayed on and the first ABS fuse that I

checked was not installed all the way ( still suspicious of how that could have

happened )

What would cause the anti-lock brake light to come on and stay on when the brakes work fine?

A problem with your anti-lock braking system. Your brakes and your ABS are two different issues. Your ABS system keeps your brakes from locking when coming to a hard stop. If it is not working correctly your light will come on. Best to have a shop look at it.


Why would you brake light and ABS light stay lit on the dash when the brakes are new?

The abs light is a separate system from the brakes.. I know that sounds funny but the abs system is after the break system. Your brakes will still work if the abs is inop. The brake light is usually a fluid level indicator in the master cylinder, not a light to tell you to replace the pads or shoes. I would look for a fluid leak or a problem with the parking brake.
