Hey all, ive been here a while. in the Ram section.
But ive been working on a dakota for a friend, the speedo, abs, brake lights are on.
and everything ive read here, say its the rear sensor, well, ive replaced that one and the tranny one.. But it still has the Same problems.
So anyone had this happen before ?
what should i do, or look at next
Thanks

 

Nobody Has any ideas ?

 

Dash could be faulty do you have any codes?

Also have you checked the wiring? If the ABS and brake light are on it means that the rear sensors maybe you have a faulty ground or wire some where in there...

 

I would start here as well. Easy enough to rule out at least.

 

No codes only one it did have was o2 sensor but replaced that, now the codes are gone.
Everything in the dash works except the speedo, tach, gas, gas light volt, temp.
just the abs, brake lights are on..
Cool ill get on to checking out the grounds

 

Had this happen. My neighbor had a high end scanner that read brake codes. It was the rear sensor. When I installed the sensor it wasn't quite seated all the way at first and blew the code as soon as I got moving. Just make sure it is seated. By saying not seated all the way I mean it barely visible but I removed and made sure it was down all the way. Hope it helps

 

ok well i have checked over the grounds. none seem bad.. checked with a ohm tester
also now the truck has now brake lights, tail lights. Abs lights still on.
fuses are good.
There is no CEL, and no codes.
Any more ideas

 

I had a speedometer/tach gauge issue -all gauges would die- but at differents times. I changed out the gauge cluster and everything is fine. Try that and then at least you will eliminate the gauge cluster.

 

Ok got some codes out of it finally.. the Cluster is throwing a
920 = The cluster is not receiving a vehicle speed message from the PCM.
921 = The cluster is not receiving a distance pulse message from the PCM.

Any ideas ?

 

pulled the sensors to measure ohms between them putem back in and no more codes again. but the speedo still dont work. and the brake and abs are still there too. Im running out of stuff to check
