Default ABS & Low Trac Light *with video*

So this happened a few times before, but it would always go away after I shut the car off. It would come on every now and then after a hard 2nd gear shift, but now it just stays on. I hooked a couple scanners up to the car, but got nothing. Put the car in the air and looked it over, but didn't see anything broken or unhooked. Now when I have the E-brake on, the Low-Trac light dimly flashes . Also, if I start the car with the E-brake up, all of the dash lights will go off, but as soon as I put the E-brake down, ABS INOP comes back on. The car does not have traction control.

Here's a video of what it's doing.

Anyone have any idea's or had this problem before?

ive had this problem before but it seemed to just go away it would rarely do it the only time i would worry about it is if had to drive in the rain.........i havent really found the cause to it but im guessing if you havent changed your brake pads in awhile that could be it but i havent had this issue in awhile but then again i have had my car since april and im barely getting it back ill let you know if i solve the issue it could also be a short somewhere

Check all your grounds. A bad ground can cause all kinds of weird issues.

There should be a switch on the handbrake under the console lid, take it off and check it...could be grounding out.

Ended up being a loose ground under the hood on the passengers side from when I did the Racetronix fuel pump harness.
