Nothing different at all. No chargers or anything. I checked with the auto parts stores and their scanners don't read code histories.

Now when my fog lights are turned on the brake light is barely lit up it barely glows. Is that a symptom of the speed sensor also? My brakes aren't dragging it coasts like normal.

Remove the headlight switch and check it and the plug. Also, remove the covers from the steering column and check that harness.

This just started when I had the ABS light come on then go off. If I turn the fog lights off the brake light turns off fully but when the fog lights are on the brake light just barely glows.

How do I remove the sensor? I have the bolt off and the wiring clip off but can't get the sensor out. It spins pretty easily but I can't get it to pull out.

There are two nuts on the ABS sensor on the rear Diff. The first one holds the lines and cables on and the second one, which is formed into the sensor, holds the sensor on. All you have to do is unscrew it.

I have unscrewed it. The sensor will spin freely but I can't get it out. I tried prying in it a little bit but I don't want to break it and something fall into the diff.

Does the sensor itself screw in or pop in?

Sorry, reading comprehension is tough on Monday. The sensor should just pop out if you have it unscrewed. Try some light prying with very little force from a flathead screwdriver or anything you can get under the lip. There isn't anything to fall into the diff. The other side of the sensor is just a nub.
