I don't mean to steal this thread, but i have the same lights on, was just out tonight cleaning the sensor on the rear axle, following the wires and no shorts. Im just wondering how you reset the RWAL on a 99 3500? And where to find this RWAL?

Don't know if a '97 is the same but on my '95 I pulled the ABS breaker to see how it worked without anti-locks. Dash lights came on and continued to stay on even after the breaker was replaced less than a half hour later. Disconnecting the batteries didn't help. Later I found in the factory service manual that some brake fault codes are a "hard" code that fires the warning light and doesn't go away even if the problem is fixed until either the code is erased with a scanner or the engine is started and stopped 60 times.
Month or so later my lights finally went out and have been off for over five years, I did nothing.
