Question RABS Light

I have a car engined '87 F250 (I'm on this forum cause the '87-96 are more fuel injected oriented so I think my truck is more '86ish). The Brake and RABS light go on when driving. If I wait after I start the engine for a few seconds they don't come on all the time. Rather intermittent. I heard the rear sensor is the problem but I thought I'd ask here for some expert advice!

Rear sensor or the RABS valve on the inside of the drivers frame rail will set the RABS light.

If the brake warning light and RABS light both come on look at the connector on the side of the master cylinder reservoir.
