Default ABS and Parking Brake lights won't turn off

I have a 96 F150 auto 2wd, it sat for 6 months while I was on deployment. I get back and fire her up and take it for a spin and the ABS and Parking brake light won't turn off on the dash. Any ideas? I've released, re-engaged and released the parking brake multiple times and turned out nothing.

Check / clean the parking brake cable and wheel speed sensors. Look at all brake lines and ABS module and make sure nothing might've gotten corroded or chewed on. Flush brake fluid.

Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. If it is full then make sure the float isn't stuck on the bottom.

That ^^. I had that. fluid was a bit low because a bleeder wasn't closed tight. Filled it up and still the lights were on - till I drove it and hit the brakes hard. I think the float was just stuck. It unstuck and no more problems.
