So last year i had the problem of ABS and parking brake lights flashing and having no speedo till after 30km/hr, and replaced the rear wheel speed sensorwhich worked! This was less than a year ago, but I am having similar problems again, but not exactly the same....
1) This time it is more intermitent and not always happening (can sometimes drive normal commute, morning and evening drive without these lights coming on)
2) It is not repeatable when it does happen, and sometimes lights flash as soon as I start truck, or sometimes 5,10,15...min later.
3) When lights flash on dash, speedo doesn't work between 90 and 120 km/hr, needle will be flopping around. lately the speedo has not been working at lower speeds also when lights flash on dash.

98 dakota sport 4x4, 3.9L, manual trans.

Anyone else have similar problems?
Please help!!!!
Thanks.

 

Maybe you got a bad sensor and it's not holding up? Other than that, I'm not sure what it could be.

 

There is a ground wire by the battery behind the drivers side headlight might be loose. Mine did similar to this, or some wire around there. I had the abs and brake light on until I changed my headlights and than it worked so I am not sure...

 

Check the connector at the rear wheel speed sensor. My buddy had one get cracked and his would act up when he hit bumps and such, but it was intermittent like yours.

 

Well it seems like there was a broken wire in the connection (near the CAB) hence the irradical behaviour.

THX for the suggestions.

 

i have had that same problem i went to the dealer and they told me so see if my brake fluid was low and it was put some in and it hasnt done it sense

 

Brake and ABS lights come on only when i brake. lites are off when i start my Dakota, but lite up
