2009 ABS light
I changed the front brakes and rotters on my 09 f150 and now sometimes my ABS light as well as my anti skid light comes and stays on until I turn truck off my not come back on for a couple of weeks or my come on the next time I crank truck?

I'm thinking you may have damaged one of your wheel speed sensors. If you know someone with a scan tool capable of reading those codes that would be the first step. If not I'd take a good visual look at the sensors and see if anything looks amiss. Also check the connector, maybe it was knocked loose?

Try disconnecting your battery for ten to fifteen minutes to clear the lights. See if that'll help

WAIT! DO NOT disconnect until he can try to read the codes. That just covers up the issue and with brakes you don't want to mess around. He needs to actually troubleshoot this like Tom mentioned and get his codes checked to try to narrow this down. Clearing the codes without checking them is like closing your eyes in a fire, even though you can't see it the fire is still there. Also need to do a visual inspection to make sure everything is snugly plugged and not damaged.
