Exclamation Crap Ton of issues

I have a 1994, 1/2 ton, 4x4 that has been causing headaches!
My ABS light came on... no clue beyond the sensor in the rear and do I really need to replace it
Cruise Control stopped working...
My 4x4 won't engage...
No reverse lights....
And the crazy vent/no heat thing...

Is any of this crap related? Please help me! I don't know where to start!

Thanks!

If your speedo is working correctly, the sensor in the rear diff will fix the ABS light.

The rest are possibly related, as they are all vacuum operated. (well, Ok, the reverse lights aren't......) Need to check for vacuum leaks. There really aren't that many vacuum lines under the hood, check 'em out, and see what you find. Also, the steel lines that run along the frame on the passenger side to the front axle are famous for rusting thru, check those as well.

Reverse lights...... if the bulbs are good, check the switch on the trans.

welcome to df.
download the 01 service manual. it'll be 99% correct for your 94.
