Abs problems

Currently my 1993 Ram D250 is in great condition but the ABS and the parking brake light stay on, i know how to reset it by disconnecting the battery for 5 seconds but that doesn't solve the problem, i bought a Chilton's books when i got the truck and it says to ground the RWAL diagnostic connector, the RWAL control module is behind the glove compartment and I thought i grounded the connector which is supposed to make the ABS light flash a number of times to give me a fault code, because I'm not sure which connector to ground, because theres about 14 connectors, i looked for the black wire and grounded it, nothing happened, so i failed at getting the fault code, i checked all the connectors to the speed sensor and the hydraulic control valve assembly and
I didn't find anything loose or any of the connectors dirty, so my question is Has anyone encountered this problem before, and does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?
