if you go to the side of your master cylinder you will see a plug there with 2 wires on it wiggle it that should do it if not unplug it and clean the connections if not check the self adjusting cable in the rear drum's there might be 1 that is broken

the combination valve is located just below the master cylinder....near the middle top of the comb. valve is a vertical black plastic housing pin switch....take out and clean with spray cleaner such as electrical cleaner including mounting hole inside valve....
on one end is a removable cap with small rubber seal plug in end....remove cap carefully...heavy spring inside loading cap....remove piston inside and clean out any brake fluid/water/dirt goop
pump brake gently and slowly to force clean fluid thru....
reassemble and bleed starting at brake master cylinder out tube

in tube to comb. valve.....out tubes from comb. valve

ins and outs of RABS valve below>>>has 2 electrical solenoids on top

then do brakes starting RR, LR, RF and LF

keep master cyl. full of clean new DOT 4 fluid
