so i get in my Dakota this morning to move it, and my ABS light and the E-Brake light came on. ok so i pull the brake release, nothing. put the e-brake on, then release it, nothing. shut the truck off and start it again, and they’re still on. so i figure might as well disconnect the battery and see if it resets anything. so i do that, and reconnect it. go to start it, and it starts, runs for like a second, and shuts off. then i start it again and it runs fine, no lights are on. any1 have ANY idea whats going on?

are you sure its the e-brake light? lots of cars use the same light for the e-brake and low brake fluid warning. i would check the master cylinder and see if you are low on fluid.

well, its the light that goes on when you put the e-brake light on. i will check the fluid, but it seems wierd that it would go off when i unhooked the battery, and ive driven it about 5-10 miles since then and it didnt come on yet.

its possible that after sitting all winter, some fluid may have leaked out, so im gonna check that.

sounds like a possible fluid issue. if the light returns could be a wheel speed sensor issue.
