Cool brake help

well im having brake troubles. i just started my ranger after it sat for the entire winter and half of the fall. i noticed the break lights and the rear abs lights were (btw its a 1990 ranger) and so i pumped the breaks and at first it had no pressure. then i tried to pump it for a while and i finally gained some pressure back. it firmed up pretty good after a while but the lights stayed on. i was wondering what the problem could be. it has some brand new brake lines recently put in and the fluid isnt leaking. also its up to the max for fluid.

I would start with bleeding them, then pulling the RABS code (see the link in the tech info thread at the top of this forum, the one for older trucks).
