05 Durango ABS, Traction, Brake, Engine Lt
I have seen many questions out there regarding these lights on at same time:
ABS, Traction, Brake, Check Engine Lt. with non-working cruise control.
Several places told me code was saying wheel bearings are bad and others said it was a "transmission issue". Trans place could not find problem.
In the mean time, I had to pull the fuse on my ABS pump or it would run even with ignition off.
I ordered a salvaged ABS pump. When I installed it, I could not bleed front right brake line and car pulled hard when braking above 15 mph. I removed and tried to unclog. Ha!! waste of time re-installing it.
I called to return it and guy said to just trash it and he'll send another. (3 months and he never did send another.)
However, since I knew old pump had no line clogs I swapped out ABS controllers on the pumps.
Problem was, the old controller had a burnt contact and damaged wiring harness connector.
I salvaged an identical connector and used heat wrap connectors to splice wires. After install everything works great.
I advise if you have any ABS/cruise control issues to check pump controller connection first. I could have saved myself a lot of time just replacing ABS controller in beginning and not pump (4 times).
The ABS controller comes off pump very easily and if wiring harness had not been damaged this would have only been a 30 minute job. To reach bottom controller screw and wiring harness connector more easily: Remove wheel and do that work from wheel basin.
