89 F-150 brake problem

Hey, my name is rj and im new to the forum... here is my 1st problem i have had wit my truck...
I was driving last night and the "brake" like came on as if i did not release the emergency brake. Soon after the "rear antilock" like came on. The truck didnt seem to drive any different...

any ideas on what this could be? is there a known component to go wrong? could it just need new shoes?

thanks rj

It could be any number of things. First off, check the brake fluid level. On my '88, if the fluid isn't at least near the max level line then both brake lights turn on.

If that isn't the problem, it could be that you have a bad sensor.
