I was on the freeway on my way to work when I looked down and notices
the abs light and brake light both are on? anyone know the problem?
or what this means? Back brakes seem to working, I used the parking
brake to slow down and stop getting off the freeway and worked fine.
Had this problem a long time ago, and it turned out to be a bulb, one
of the LED's in the thrid brake. any ideas? Thanks, DON

I checked the brakes, everything looks fine. Fluid level is good,
front pads are new, back drums are about 40%..
someone I work with mentioned a vaccuum leak. I have a wierd idle
problem sometimes, not all the time, he thinks is vaccuum. Guess this
weekend I get to start hunting that down, I hate leaks.... hard to
find, unless someone knows a good way....

Sorry about that,I am driving a 2001 Nissan Frontier 2.4L XE Auto
2wd I have about 110,000 miles on it. I had a 91 hardbody I got
212,000 miles out of, and sold it 1700 bucks. Not a spot of rust on
the body. I love these trucks..
