What is your question?
Just put new pads all the way around, but the back ones are hanging up. Is this common, and does it correct itself? Had no issues installing them. ABS light is also coming on, but I thought maybe it would go off after replcing pads. No such luck

If the rear are drum brakes then you need to adjust them and then bleed them, if their disk then you have to bleed them or they will not function properly and can be dangerous if your driving it and you try making a abrupt stop.Disk brakes bleeding will require someone to help u by pumpng on the brakes about 3-4 times then holding the pedal down while you loosen the nipple on the calipper and tighten it rigth back after you hear the air come out. repeat the procedure usually about 3 times on each tire always checking the brake fluid making sure it dosent go below min mark or you will have to start all over.
If you have rear disc brakes, and they are hanging up after bleeding then you most likely have a calliper hanging up. Check first the pins, make sure that they are rust free and lubricated. If this doesn't do the trick then a calliper re-build or replacement will take care of the issue. Re-builds are impractical though, you can buy a remanufactured calliper at a parts store for around $50 after the core return. It's a simple job. Advice: Prime your calliper with brake fluid before you install it, and elevate the line in a manner in which you won't loose too much fluid from the master. It will make bleeding after the install a lot easier,
