wifey was driving 'rango thru a Wendys Drive thru last night, and "the brakes made a horrible noise, the ABS lite came on and the Brake lite came on". She says both lites were on all the way home. I went out and started the truck, the ABS lite stayed on a little longer than normal, then went off. No Brake lite. I drove and all seemed fine. I have just replaced both rear wheel cylinders in the last 3 weeks. Fluid levels are fine.
The truck only has rear ABS.
What is up ????

 

Hey, I have the same thing going on in my Durango, 98 too. Once when 4wheelin I was able to jar them off but now they are just on the entire time. I've been told it might be speed sensor problem but haven't been able to take a look at that just yet. Let me know if you get a solution for your's.

 

So, What did she run over?

 

robust57 is right about the problem being a speed sensor.There are two speed sensors one on each steering knuckle. My D had the same problem,I replaced the sensors no more problem.

 

what does the speed sensor look like ???
how much do they cost ???

does it bring on both the ABS and Brake lite ???

any wat to test ??

 

I just had the same issue. The ABS and brake light came on and stayed on. I looked at these forums before bringing my 99 D into the dealer to get robbed. I learned that 90% of the time it is the rear wheel sensor. I went to the dealer and asked for the rear wheel sensor - $34.00. It's located on top of the rear differential. Took around 20 mins. I figured I'd give it a try and it worked, both lights went off and stayed off. I recommend giving this a try before bringing to the dealer.

 

I forgot about the rear sensor but my trouble was with the front sensors,took abot the same amount of time to change.

 

I am going to swap out my fronts sensors and see what happens. I am thinking its my front sensors since I was a little careless when doing brake and ball joint work. I will let everyone know how it turns out.
