Abs Light
now that i finally have my flat bed on and wired up when i have my parking lights or headlights on my abs light comes on when i hit the brake pedal. my right turn/stop light works the way it should but the left turn stop stays bright when then lights are on and functions normally when lights are off. checked and double checked and checked again to make sure all connections where correct they are. and likei said it works just fine with the headlights off. i have LED lights in the back of the bed wondering of lack of current draw could cause this?? its got me stumped and frustrated.....

barebackjake it is possible when the flat bed was installed the wiring harness that goes to the back of the truck may have been damaged have you checked for any cut or shorted wires causing the abs light to come on?

YE/DG are for a trailor/camper adapter. You may have the power wires for park and brake crossed on that side.

i didnt even connect to that plug with only the two wires just left it there. checked wiring going back to the cab its all ok. like i said the thing that stumps me is its fine when the park/head lights are not on. its a 97 F250HD 4x4 supercab white.....and i double checked that brake and marker light wire were not crossed.
