Srry..lol I just read what I wrote.
I am driving along in 4H, Then I applied the breaks to stop and hear the ABS come on, Then the ABS light stays on and I have no more assist from the ABS. I am thinking a fuse or breaker... What are your thoughts on this one....

I had same thing happen once. After a re-start it went away. Was not able to figure out what caused it and it never reoccurred.

4H is AWD mode - no problem for the pavement. 4HLC is the true 4wd with locked center diff.

Seriously, unless it starts happening on regular basis i wouldn't worry about it. How many times you had to restart the computer you are on right now? Still works right?
