Brake and ABS dash lights on

I have a 97 F-150 4X4 and recently the ABS and brake dash lights came on. I have pulled the parking brake handle just to make sure it is fully released. What does both of these lights on indicate?

Check your ABS fuse in the drivers side lower dash. Most likely it is blown or loose and you dont have ABS right now.

Thanks for the info. I checked all of the fuses last night and none were blown. What else should I check?

Check your abs sensors with an ohmmeter and make sure theres continuity. The wires come out of your wheel hub and the plug is on your inner fender well. If one doesnt have continuity, its bad. If one is bad you cant replace just the sensor, you have to replace the whole hub because its all one piece. About $160 at advance auto with lifetime warranty.
