Brake and abs lights are on.

After the ABS and brake lights came on I replaced the front pads, and rear shoes. The rear drums were out of spec so a few weeks later I replaced the rear drums. The front rotors are fine. A couple of years ago I replaced the wheel cyls with the Chevy conversion. My problem is that the ABS and brake lights are on. What do I have to do to correct this problem?

Usually it's the vehicle speed sensor that is bad. It's on the rear diff and costs less than $40 to replace I believe.

Try and reset it. Reset by disconnecting the negative battery cable and reconnect. If problem comes back then it is probably the abs sensor.
