Default ABS / Park brake lights

Hey guys. This past weekend i was on a rough gravel road with my 98 dodge ram 1500, when i noticed my ABS light and park brake lights came on. My speedo and my odometer aren't working. I changed the ABS sensor in the rear diff tonight and disconnected my negative battery terminal for 30 mins to reset my computer, and it didn't work. Any other suggestions on what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance.

*EDIT* also my cruise control isn't working.

As stated above, check for fluid leaks and the fuses and relays. Also check the connector on the sensor on top of the rear diff. Make sure the wires are not broke and unplug it and clean the connection. Replace it if everything checks out.
