ABS light and Parking Brake light on?
Strange ABS light came on for about 10 mins and now my parking brake light wont turn off...could this be low brake fluid? Strange because the car is driving amazing

most likely brake fluid or a stuck sensor, top off the Brake Fluid. Also try wiggling your ebrake to see if maybe that sensor is stuck.

My parking brake light is on....pretty sure its a stuck sensor that I don't feel like finding. there are two right? One under the center console and one on the rear brake? or just one under the console?

My e-brake light used to get come on and I'd have to wiggle the lever around for the light to come off. Now it just stays on. Also, my ABS light just came on but won't turn off. I'll check my fluid level, but most likely it's a stuck sensor.

I am pretty sure there is a sensor on the rear brakes somewhere, sometimes the light comes on and will remain on after an application of the brakes (pedal)

The wheel speed sensors (1 on each wheel) are usually the culprit for the ABS light coming on and staying on

I've had a similar problem. I live in Pittsburgh, PA where we've been getting a lot of snow and really cold temperatures. It seems like something's getting "frozen"/ stuck in a bad position and my ABS light will remain on. However, a few nights I was able to keep it in the garage and noticed that each day afterwards, the problem was gone, until I was forced to park outside again after driving to work and back. Also, a few times after it was on, it would randomly turn off after driving for a few miles.
Not saying this is your problem, just throwing out a possibility.

The parking brake and ABS lights have come on when my brake fluid is completley low. I know it's probably a leak somewhere. I've only seen brake fluid on the front driver side wheel so i don't know if it's leaking from the line. I also hear a clicking sound as i'm coming to a complete stop while braking. I hear it from the front driver side wheel. So i have no idea what it is.
