I recently went through and replaced my parking brake cables (front and rear both sides) and my brakes worked without issue for about two weeks. A few days ago I get off the freeway only to find that my pedal goes almost all the way to the floor, lo and behold, the rear passenger side brake cylinder piston is popped out on the front side. After replacing the rubber boot on the offending brake cylinder, reassembling everything, adjusting the rear drums and adding/bleeding brake fluid accordingly my ABS and Parking brake lights come on when I make a hard application. The parking brake light turns on and then off again after releasing the pedal, but the ABS light stays on. Neither are on when the truck is started, and both turn off when turning the engine off and then on again. There are no fluid leaks either and the RABS valve was replaced back in October when the whole brake system was rebuilt. When testing the brakes the rears locked up indicating an error in the ABS system, not indicative of a simple dirty sensor. Any advice/help would be appreciated.
