Default ABS Question

Do all 1999 Durangos have Anti lock brakes? I'm wondering because my abs light and brake light are on on my dash. Car is acting norman. How would I know if I have abs?

They should all have ABS but I am not sure. If your ABS light and Brake light are on you probably have a bad sensor somewhere. Check the ABS speed sensors out on the steering knuckle on the front end, that's my bet.

Probably your rear speed sensor. Mine went out a few months back. You can get it at the dealer for 30 bucks and install yourself. I have a 2001 and it is located on top of the rear diff case. Drop the spare and crawl under and remove brake line and bracket. unscrew and plug in new one. Viola. I've seen this problem on many forums and this seems to be the fix 99% off the time. Finally an easy/ cheap fix.

How can you tell if it's the rear or front sensor? Mine is coming on intermittently.

Bot the ABS and the BRAKE light are coming on at the same time which leads me to believe it's the rear but I'm not sure if I have ABS on the rear brakes since they are drum.

Having Drums has nothing to do with whether a vehicle has ABS, I had a Sunfire with Rear Drums and 4-wheel ABS, and All Durangos have at least Rear-Wheel ABS, with 4-wheel ABS as an option. Since you more then likely have only Rear-Wheel ABS you're only gong to have to worry about the Rear Speed Sensor.

I have a 1999 dodge durango and a little over a week ago my ABS and break light came on and so I had my front breaks and rotors replaced and my light is still on. What could cause this. The sensors?
