Multiple engine wiring harnesses clips not connected
May I suggest you learn how to use periods?
Use punctuation to signify the end of a thought and the start of another.
It's hard to read a stream of conciousness like that.
Or as I've said -
BREATHE.
Now. Do you HAVE 4 wheel antilock brakes?
The control head is over by the master cylinder; the wheel sensor is a 2 wire sensor, not a 3 wire.
And since the rear ABS sensor helps feed the ECU to drive the speedometer, I'd be replacing that first if I were firing a parts cannon.
Have you considered asking the ABS what it thinks is happening? There's full instructions in the factory service manual downloadable from the link over in the FAQ message (at the top of this subforum's message list).
I'd do that before being overly worried about unplugged connectors; a 2.5 won't have several options (they weren't available for the 2.5!) so you can easily have connectors free.
Shucks, I didn't check, but that connector low may go to the transfer case, or to an automatic transmission if you have the 5 speed manual (or to a manual if you have the automatic).

Oh, it's got the VSS on the tailshaft housing; and being a 2.5 it's pretty safe to presume 2WD for Dave37.
And there's other possible causes, like a bad VSS.
My memory was bad earlier; no, the ABS sensor doesn't feed the ECU and then the speedometer, speedometer is fed straight off the VSS but that signal also feeds the ECU.
So instead of tackling the ABS sensor first, I'd tackle the VSS.
For Dave37 - The most expensive VSS that RockAuto has is $23 right now; the factory one I found at New Vehicle Speed Sensor 4707386 for Chrysler Dodge Jeep Plymouth 93-97 SC105 | eBay .
I'd swap that first, see if the speedo gets happy and if the ABS goes out. Don't forget to check brake fluid levels - the ONLY thing that lights the BRAKES light that doesn't light the ABS light is the parking brake being partly set!

We'll see if the ABS light goes out
