thats a thought, Did you unhook the esp lines and get some more length out of them?


maybe you pulled the wires out of the sensor

There is one near each caliper, though when I swapped my axles, I forgot to plug in one and got 7 lights, not just esp/bas. They have a red lock clip on the electrical connector, just like your doors.

well they wires are clipped to brakets, if you remove the wires from the brackets you can get about a foot of slack.

check for wires coming out of the backplates on the wheels

ive only got a mild 2.5 inch lift and i managed to rip a sensor out last time i went wheeling. thats probably what you did. i had the same problem afterwords accept mine actually locked the brakes up a bit by the time i got home i had no more rear pads and the rear rotors had to be replaced as well

all sensors where on and was getting frustrated, Out of dumb luck this light came on 2 days before I changed my driveshafts. changed the shafts and about 40 miles later the lights are off. BUT now i am noticing my wheel is not exactly centered. this will most likely make the light go back on right?

Default ESP/BAS light stays on

I'm having same issue. Taking into dealer today. Had lifted, no issues. Took back into shop to have spare tire carrier and extend brake light. Watched techs at shop do work. He also wired trailer hitch light--did a lot of pulling of wires in rear end. Didn't notice lights on until a couple days after. Straightened steering wheel last nigth still lights on. Removed neg battery cable for 1.5hrs. Lights still on. We'll see what dealer says today and will post again.
