Exclamation ABS/Brake light/No Cruise? **FIXED**

Hello,

i have a 98 1500 5.9 360 4x4 last night my cruise would turn on but wouldn't set, and today my abs and brake light are on with no check engine light. i took it to my local parts store and used a reader no codes, my speedo, odometer work, my fluids are good my brakes are newer no leaks, my pedal feels great no problems stopping. Im lost please help......

Thanks

You have a vac leak for the cruise most likely. Check the vac line to the cruise servo under the battery tray. And read this thread. Could be a vac leak elsewhere. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...ild-vents.html


As far as the ABS and brake lights go, you either have a leak/pin hole in the brake line running next to fuel tank or the sensor on the top of the rear diff is bad.

hmm i did that check valve stuff last year, do i just pull the hose off the cruise and see if it has vacuum while the truck is running?

2 I'd say, but look and see if you have wires running to the front brakes. And get one of these, it's called a build sheet. http://www.dodge.com/wccsapp/univers...ull&category=U

No, you see if you have broken/ rotted lines or bad "check valves". A year makes quite a difference.

Like I said as far as the brakes go anyway. " As far as the ABS and brake lights go, you either have a leak/pin hole in the brake line running next to fuel tank or the sensor on the top of the rear diff is bad"
