I have the abs and handbrake light on?
Checked resistance on all abs sensors, one was duff and have changed it, now I get resistance in it but still have a dash light
Have tightened the handbrake, still have the light
The brakes were also flushed and bled and I checked for error codes on my laptop and there were none!
Any ideas?
Je detest!

So brake fluid level is correct? So brake fluid level sensor could be fucked. Or handbrake switch could be fucked.
Does the ABS work? Pump ok?

Errrr, the level is spot on
How do I test it, the pump and sensor?

Your handbrake light will come on for 2 reasons. Low brake fluid level, or your hand brake is on. You can unplug and short each one in turn to see if either is at fault.
Have you checked all fuses in relation to the ABS?
There's one sure fire way of testing the ABS, it involves an emergency stop.

You may have a faulty wheel sensor/s causing the ABS light to come on mate.

Wheel sensor you say, costly? And how do I test them?

Hang on, are they not the abs sensors that point at the cog like things behind the wheels?
They all give resistance now I replaced the faulty one

Could these lights be battery related?
