Ok I have an ABS light on all the time and the Parking Brake light comes on and stays on for a long time but goes on and off. When I pulled the ABS code I got a Code 33- Front Left Wheel Speed Sensor. Has anyone ever changed a front wheel speed sensor? Or direct me to a link that shows how. What would be causing the red Parking Brake Light to come on intermittently, yes I have checked the brake fluid level and it is fine. Any help would be much appreciated.

The ABS sensor is simple, you just need female Torx bits to get the screw out of it. One screw and a connector. The E-brake light could be a bad switch at the e-brake handle. Unpplug the switch that activates the light and see if it comes on any more.

Where is the connector to the wheel speed sensor to unhook and where is the parking brake switch?

Parking brake switch is under your center console and the ABS sensor connector is in your wheel well, just follow the wire coming off the sensor.

also ensure the float inside the master cylinder and make sure it is floating on top of fluid you can look into filler neck and see it these can get hung up and break and will cause light to illuminate the light is connected to the emergency brake and illuminates when brake is applied and connected to float sensor within master cylinder. these are the only things that will cause light to illuminate - low brake fluid or faulty fluid float or sensor or emergency brake when applied or bad emergency brake sensor.

Thanks for all the help so far ya'll. Ok so assuming the float in the master cylinder is not floating and/or the little float sensor is bad, is the only way to fix it to replace the master cylinder or can the float or sensor be purchased seperately?
