I have a 1996 Ford Ranger XLT, the brake and abs light has recently come on while driving, and stays on. I know it has to be a warning of some kind, just not sure of what, any help will be appreciated.

Have you checked your brake fluid level? Not sure if that will give you the ABS light on your model, but it will give you the brake light.
If that does not fix it, you will have to get the brake system codes read to trouble shoot what is causing the light.
