    Well if you have even a slight axle seal leak like one that doesnt make it to the tire it will lock your brakes up easily... is that disc or drum rear? 4 wheel abs?

    I'd say bad axle seal or faulty brake components... did ya pull the rear drums and inspect? if ya have 2 wheel ABS I'm guessin you got 2 different probs

    Hmmm I've seen em leak just enough to get gear oil on the brakes... once it heats with normal braking it glazes the pads and pretty much boils away so you won't see it on the tire it's not like you'd have a constant leak, you only get an abundance of gear oil through the axle tubes when cornering or driving on two wheels lol... I'm not saying it's that but worth lookin into

    As for the abs light, I'd start by looking at the harness' down by the front wheels... they can get dirt water and grime in em and you do wheel that thing a bit right??

    Cool man, let us know what ya find!
