Speed sensor mounts in rear diff. Does your speedo work correctly?

I think its listed odd, like a speed sensor or something. My wife's light has been on for months. I've checked on the part twice, just never committed. I'm wondering about the BRAKE light. It's been on for a while also. I've replaced one caliper and a wheel cylinder in the last two months. Got the other caliper in the box waiting.

If there is air in the brake lines, that will annoy the ABS system.

If we are still talkng about a RAM, I've seen plenty of time's when the speedo still worked.

Did you disconnect the negative battery cable before replacing the sensor?

yes I did and I also heard that if u turn the headlight switch on while it was disconnected resets the PCM so I did that as well while it was the negative cable was unhooked I had it unhooked for over 10 mins cuz i changed out my plugs and wires while I had the cable unhooked
