Just take the bulbs out, those lights will never bother you again. Most warning lights are just a suggestion anyway. If they were important it would have a buzzer, bell or whistle.
Jill tried that excuse, but Tim wouldn't have it.

This morning I found out that the ABS light and the Emergency brake light have been coming on at different time in the OL's Durango, she says if she shuts it off then starts the lights go out,, no biggie for her I guess,, The question I have is this,, if the brake pads were worn or the rotors worn down below acceptable limits would there be a warning light ???? Maybe,, any ideas??? And no I have not jacked it up to see what the pads and rotors look like.
As a Dodge man myself there could be several things, one the front wheel sensors are intigrated into the front wheel hub assembly and if the wire gets torn loose or the bearing is failing in the hub assembly will cause an ABS light, second they have a speed sensor or abs wheel speed sensor on top of the rear diff that is magnetized and if it has been a while since changing diff fluid can collect a lot of fine metal and interfer with being able to read the tone ring teeth properly, this is held in with a single bolt and pulls out and can be cleaned off, I have had an issue with this sensor as I drive about 35 miles of gravel every day and I have seen the gravel eat the wiring off the sensor.
Depending on how new the vehicle is they do have sensors in the brake pads to signal when the pads are worn down.

Me too! Almost all of the episodes are up on youtube.

Don't remember that one Wildfire but that's a good one! My favorite has to be the toilet intercom.
