Speedo not working
#11
Where there any numbers in the odometer window when it finished the test? Like 920, 110, or 999???
The bad news is that it is unlikely that it is the sensor or the harness. If it fails then there is no signal, the speedo should read 0, not 200. Basically it would be the same as if the truck isn't moving.
The rear speed sensor feeds into the CAB, controller anti-lock brake. From there it goes to the PCM and the cluster.
I don't want you to throw parts at this by replacing a speed sensor that may not be faulty.

You need both. The small connector is the two front speed sensors only. The back is the rear - and the power.
There are relays in the CAB that powers the hydraulic pump. That's what you're hearing. Sometimes the relays fail. The CAB can be rebuilt. If you replace it you need to have it programmed to match your rear axle.
You could try pulling the 40 amp fuse in the PDC. It should stop the pump. I don't know if it'll fix the speedo though.
