I am new to the forum - Want to start by introducing the vehicle - 2004 Chevy Tahoe 179,000 miles no modifications.
The brake light and ABS light have always been on since I owned it (Bought it at 163,00). The wife is going to take the tahoe because it has been such a great vehicle and I'm going to continue to drive the Duramax. She wants the brakes fixed. I already did SS lines new pads and rotors. She wants the full paddle back (air pocket in abs) and the abs fixed. i sent out the abs module to get resoldered as everyone says to do. I reinstalled the module and still have both ABS and brake lights on the dash. The parking brake cable is broken so I don't know if this will do it. However, I did look around at fuses to see if anything was blown. All fuses checked out. There is a brake fuse on the interior fuse panel. By the diagram on the interior fuse panel and looking at my fuses there it seemed like this brake fuse was empty. i installed a 10amp fuse as it calls for and turned the key. The vehicle made some sounds and now the stabilitrak service message pops up along with the traction control light. i scanned the truck and got P1689 and P0856. Since my ownership, the cruise control has never worked.
I am beginning to get stumped with this one. The abs module should be fine since it is resoldered and re-installed. My questions are as follows:
1. Can a broken parking brake cable cause this?
2. Did i screw up by installing a fuse in this location? (I have since removed the fuse. ABS, brake, stabilitrak, traction control light still on).
3. What is step one? I'm very mechanically inclined but I am starting to lose my mind with this.
Attached is a picture of the fuse i was questioning.
Any help is appreciated
