I'm not familiar with your previous post on the problem you are having, but looking at my factory repair manual for 94 rams [yours may be different]with ABS RWAL they have a rwal electronic control module under the dash by the heat ducting on the passenger side that the rear sensor you replaced sends a signal to directly.The module also stores codes that can be read with an scanner or the manual also says to ground the RWAL diagnostic plug and the ABS lite in the cab will flash for appropriate code-I have never tried this or even know where the diagnostic connector for the ABS is so I can't recommend it.The interesting thing tho is one of the codes is "brake switch always on.RWAL [ABS] lite comes on when speed exceeds 40mph" as printed in my factory manual.I do know the brake switch has 3 different circuits on my truck , not sure on yours,so you may want to check that switch as that code sounds like that describes what you are experiencing,just a thought.Good Luck
