Jumped in and put it in drive, drove about 20 ft and the abs locked up. ABS light light came on, traction control turned off and light came on and the 4X4 high light is flashing. ABS won't release. Help!!

@Melissa Helene Not enough information. Do you mean the brakes seem locked up, and the vehicle will not move? imp
 






Probably a bad front wheel hub. ABS speed sensor is internal to the hub. On my 05 I had the brakes lock up and it was due to the bad hub. The computer sees that as if it was skidding and brakes the other wheels to match. I was about 40 miles from home. I pulled the ABS fuse to get it home. With the ABS fuse pulled, it will probably run in limp mode. But at least you can get it home or to your mechanic.
