It could be a few things. First what I would check is the connections on your speed sensors because I had this problem and ended up just beige a rear speed sensor. Other than that could be a problem with the ABS module.

I don't have time to check your other threads to help you with our issue. If you have an issue, I am more than willing to help you out with your issue, however I am not going to go fishing to do so.

If the only issue is that you lost your speedometer then replace your ABS sensor on the top rear differential. Sorry if you find this ignorant. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...ensor-diy.html

I Had a banging noise that was coming from the driver side front tire or the wheel hub or brake.but it was the drive shaft.My problem now is the ABS and brake light is on.I didn't no if they did something when they did the front driveshaft.

Are you saying that they replaced the front Drive Shaft, or the CV Half Shaft?

the nosie was in that general area.But I think my wheel hub is on it's way out.I pulled the tire off and there was grease on the inside of the tire and it was coming from the back side of the wheel bearing.And there are no grease fittings near there.

Yeah generally when the front wheel bearings/hub is goin out there will be a loud obnoxious hum coming from the front wheel. This is a very easy fix and an average price to go by is about $300 per wheel hub.

If you were wanting to do this yourself (not sure how knowledgable you are) but it's not hard. Just take the wheel off and remove the rotor and brakes. There will be the hub. There is a plastic cover in the middle that contains some grease but most of all a nut and a cotter pin. Take the pin out and back off the nut and the hub will be loose. Before take it off if you have 4 wheel ABS be sure to remove that and put the new wheel hub on. Do the same process backwards and make sure to turn the key to on bride closing it all up to make sure everything is plugged in and no engine lights come up.

Like I said its not a difficult task and it took me about an hour to do.

As far as the driveshaft goes, what were the symptoms they replaced that on? Typically you will know right away if you need a new drive shaft! Lol
