Ram 1500 brake lights stay on and abs sensor light in dash

Asked by Jeremy Jan 19, 2021 at 10:00 PM about the 2012 RAM 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2012 Ram 1500. Changed brake pads a few weeks
ago, noticed that the truck had the traction control
light on, cf fault on trailer brake, and abs light. Also
noticed the brake lights staying on when truck is on
and in park. I can also shift gears without
depressing the pedal. When I lift the pedal the lights
go off. Any ideas where to start looking for
problems?

There is a switch on the brake pedal that is stuck in the on position. There is a plunger that you need to pull out from the switch and spray with WD40.
