#17 of 26 Ram 1500 emergency brake question by cbove Jun 03, 2008 (10:59 am)
I have a standard 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 V6 with about 110,000 miles. I always use my emergency brake when I park, and just yesterday I pulled the release and it sounded like the brake released but the pedal stayed down. I know it released b/c there is no resistance when I drive but there is no way to engage the emergency brake now because the pedal is stuck down. Is this an easy fix or should I take it in. Unfortunately I don't know much about vehicles, but I am handy.   Also, just fyi, b/c I don't think it's related, but for quite some time the brake light would remain on even though I disengaged the emergency brake and it just comes and goes.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: cbove (Jun 03, 2008 10:59 am) Today while driving home, doing about sixty with cruise on, my truck shuddered and the ABS and brake lights lit up for a bit then went away. About three minutes later both lights came back on and have stayed on since. Anybody have any ideas what might cause something like that?

#20 of 26 ABS and brake light by hermanceusmc Sep 04, 2008 (4:56 pm)
I have an 04 Ram 1500 4wd. My ABS and brake light came on and I had it checked. The computer read that I had an erratic signal in my rear abs sensor. I changed the sensor along with the front brakes and had the computer reset. The light came back on and is reading the same error code as before. Has anyone experienced this and or know a solution besides removing the bulbs?

What is the square box mounted on the firewall adjacent to the master cylinder (they are connected by brake lines). The box is making a humming sound even after the ignition is shut off. It is causing the brakes to go squishy and actuating the brake lights intermittantly... Help
#25 of 26 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 brake problem by garcia403 Nov 17, 2009 (9:39 pm)
Im havin a brake problem with my truck and was wonderin if yall can give some guidance. The truck started out with a squeak in the brakes and I thought they just needed to be clean cause I just put new pads in. Now that squeak has changed pitch and sometimes sounds like a rubbin sound. I also lose breaking power when I turn it to the right. It becomes harder to brake and there is play in the pedal. Thanks for any help. Replies to this message: corkscrew (Nov 18, 2009 5:19 am)

Replying to: garcia403 (Nov 17, 2009 9:39 pm) Brake squeal is caused by a high pitched vibration. Did you turn the drums when you replaced the pads? Wet the pads see if this helps,check to be sure all bolts are tight, replace the caliper hardware, be sure any shims are in their correct place, be sure nohing is rubbing against the backing plates, did you use semi metalic or ceramic pads, lubricate the caliper slides and pins. Put the truck in drive and sit there for a few minutes with your foot on the brake, the pedal should not sink to the floor.   Corkscrew
