You have a sensor on top of the rear end and one in the side of the tranny, could be either one. My guess would be the one on top of the rear end.If you had speedo probs it would most likely be the one on the tranny.

Thanks for the quick reply. I looked on Autozone's website and they want $90.99 for the one on the rear end. I hope that is not the problem. What will happen if I don't replace it? The brakes seem to work fine.

i replaced the one ontop of the rear diff like 3 months ago.

The one on my tranny should have been replaced when they did the rebuild, or at least thats what it says on parts list,

Mine has been coming on for about a week now and i dont know why, what fuse is it that you are talking about.

The lights come on after like 5 min of driving and if i turn the truck off and turn it right back on it will stay off until i drive for awhile.

It cost about 40 bucks. It's called the ABS speed sensor. Raybestos makes one that they sell at O'Riely's. The only thing that will happen if you don't replace it, is that your brakes will lock up in an emergency. Hence the term, Anti-lock Braking System.
