Default ABS nad handbrake light help.

Hello all,

The ABS light keeps coming on and just after that the handbrake lights also comes on. Turn the car off they go off and not long later they come back on again not long after. When breaking you can feel something not right on the peddle too.
I have plugged it in, and nothing comes up as an ABS fault. What else could this be? My mind tells me brake fluid?

Thank you.
Josh.

Takes less that a minute to check the brake fluid level so do that

Low brake fluid will illuminate the red brake warning light, it has nothing to do with the ABS light, if no faults are showing up it could be the modulator thats at fault.

I had a 75 that had no faults showing, I swapped the modulator and the light went out?!?
