ABS warns you about a problem in your ABS System starting from the fuse, or relay and the other light is not for the hand break ! it's warning you about your break PADS.
So change your break pads and check your ABS system functionality.
Its an audible warning, is your door closing properly? seatbelt connecting in the latch correctly? handbrake correctly released?, also check the boot and bonnet is secure and latched. Check the dashboard do you have any warning symbols, low oil fuel etc or a service indicator or warning light usually an engine shape or a service due message will be on your dash.If you are not sure go to a garage.
It sounds like one or both of of your rear brakes is dragging or partially seized up.this would cause the ABS light to register.To fix the problem it will require you to service the brakes by freeing up the parking brake and getting everything moving again.Use a lubricant for brakes.Check the rear brake lining as they may be worn from being partially on.Make sure the caliper assembly is also moving freely and doesn't need replacing.This is of course if you are handy with a set of tools.If you haven.t done this kind of work before take it in and have it looked at.Brake work is either 100% correct or dangerously wrong.Good Luck
Get a second opinion as you are dealing with brakes here.
Things to get check/get checked
Brake fluid does it need topped up.
Fuses covering these systems are there any blown.
Brake pads are they worn or are the sensors damaged.
ABS sensors are they damaged.
Handbrake cable to front wheels worn or stretched.
Handbrake sensor faulty.
Again if it's brakes get these things checked out sounds like a faulty abs sensor but best get the rest checked to be on the safe side.
Hope this helps
this is a common first sign of your antilock brake computer failing. You will most likely never feel a difference in your car but there is a slight chance all your safety features will not operate properly in a collision.
alternator. i know it sounds to simple but everything you have described points to it. best thing....remove it and take it to you local autozone or European equivalent and have it tested.
