weird brake problem
1998 camaro...car been runnig great till i decided to tackle the brake system..i changed all the brake pads front and back...changed 2 front caliper (leaking brake fluid-very little)..took it for a test drive and notice the front passenger side dragging..so off to the garage again but before i even get there abs inop..parking brakes and left turn signal (not flashing... solid)..all came on at the same time ..so i thought the passenger side trigger the abs inop..i chk the passenger side and i thought i did everything right only thing i did not replace is the rotor..so i replace the 2 front rotor and carefully reset my brake and follow manual/text.. concerning brake bleeding ...test drive it again..notice pedal travel is perfect ..no dragging but all 3 lights still on..chk my signal bulb ..all good (happen to have extra set)replaced...the parking brake even thou i did not do anything on it seems to have more play that before.... meaning u have to set it really high to engage it--any info on how to adjust the parking brake?? its dark already so i stop working on it...help abs inop lights??? parking brake light?? left turn signal..oh yeah as i was driving it the left side lights (headlight ..fog light and turn signal lights ) are too dim compare to the right side........help

well i had to do something similar to this when my passenger side break pad fell off.. but i didnt seem to have much problems, i replaced all the front pads and one rotor and i lost ALOT of fluid but when it was installed it seemed like it was still full.. for you it sounds like maybe somethin got wet or cut when you were working on that one particular side cause all the stuff wrong is on that one side and now is all involving electic units. And because I know little about electric stuff i'd prolly take it in. That stuff is hard to tackle.. sorry i couldn't be of more help hahaha

Finally found it...its a left turn signal socket..black as hell..like i stated i replace both turn signal bulb..i inspect it again and found some of the plastic almost melted(bottom)..its functioning fine but i decided to run to autozone and bought a 7 dollar piece replacement...start the car and all the warning lights went off within 3 seconds.. amazing how something like this trigger the abs inop ..parking brake and left turn signal...everything is working properly....thanks for everybody's input.... (looks like water damage)
