ABS light and Brake light on...
So I've noticed that my ABS light is on and my brake light is on...but yet no changes in the braking in my car and my fluid is good. Any suggestions

Mine has the same issue.
I put wider tires on it, to stop the brakes from locking during hard decels. It worked, and I'm satisfied.
My 3rd brake light doesn't work, and I know that has something to do with the ABS not working. As for the brake light, I have no idea.

I have 255/45/ZR18 tires from a C5 Corvette on my car...but that would have nothing to do with these lights being on in my guage cluster...it's just really frickin annoying

I checked the fuses, fluid levels, etc... and couldn't find any easy answers for the brake/abs lights, so I gave up.

Somtimes the programming in the ABS computer gets a glitch. What I have done to clear this is unplug the wiring harness from the ABS box under the hood for a minute or two then plug it back in and see of you still have the lights. Might work for you.

The light in the dash has nothing to do with brake lights my third brake light comes on and I have my abs light on in my (cluster). The chevy dealer told me it was a bad senso maybe it's me but I don't see where he said his third brake light is out.. As far as your brake light mine did that but it was cause the emergency brake cable was a oil to tight. So see if that's the problum.

The "BRAKE" light comes on for two reasons - 1) to tell you the E-brake is engaged; 2) to tell you there is uneven pressure between the front and rear braking hydraulic lines. Once the "BRAKE" light is on due to uneven pressure, the "ABS INOP" light will come on because the brake system has been compromised be a difference in the front and rear pressures.
Could be an air bubble in one of the lines, could be a leak in one of the lines, could be a failing master cylinder, allowing leakage between the front and rear pistons in the master. Could be the pressure differential switch on the side of the ABS unit is "stuck". When the pressure switch gets stuck, sometime you can break it loose with a very hard stop. Just make sure you're in a parking lot where you won't hit something if you try a hard stop. Before you do that, check for leaks, and consider bleeding the brakes.
The "BRAKE" light is not connected to a fluid level switch, but if your fluid is low, you may get air in the system, turning on the light.
