Might be your RWAL ABS controller; I unplugged mine to get the brake light to go out (bad vehicle speed sensor and I was short on money) it was a short fix; it's now lit up b/c of a low vacuum warning... Cant win...

Only if you want ABS. A lot of folks unplug it and do just fine without it. Just remember that you don't have it and could easily lock the rear end up and you'll have no worries!
