ABS Light
The "abs" and "brake" light went on in my mothers '98 3500 Ram Wagon. She said the brake pedal went "soft" while she was driving it; but then everthing returned to normal. Took it for a drive and checked the fluid; everything seems ok. Any advice before I take it to the dealer?

There are so many new electronic gadgets that are connected to the brake sysems now, I would say bring it to the dealer and have thems run a diagnostic on it. If it's an intermitten problem, they might be able to turn up something from data stored in the computer.

i have this problem too, it is intermittent and gets on my nerves, when i go to get it checked out, it will work properly but when i am driving normal, it happens, does anyone know what this is, cause the mechanics where i live will tell you the whole break system needs to be replaced just to get your money

Re: ABS Light
dirt and grime buildup in the ABS sensors, or one has gone bad.
 Primarily this seems to happen on the rear. Check the sensor(s) for dirt, and the connection, or replace them (cheap) before you waste you hard earned money on a "diagnostic" and a blood sucking dealer-servicer, or MIDAS... (MIDAS-well-bend-over)  Good luck, Slantsixness
