Default several issues all at once

I have a 1998 ram 2500 24v diesel.


recently I had an ABS and brake light show up but the truck doesn't seem to stop any slower and no weird noises either.


now a few days maybe a week afterwards the radio wont turn up or down and now the speedometer randomly goes up and down or pegs out whether im on the throttle or not.


Could all of this be related? wheel speed sensor or rear brakes need to be changed possibly? Only has 148k on the truck.

2 or 4 wheel ABS? If the speedo is being flaky, you might be able to solve everything but the radio by replacing the rear wheel speed sensor.

not sure what you mean by 2 or 4 wheel abs.. the truck is a 4x4 though.


I think the radio probably is just worn out I mean it is the stock one (18 years old this fall)

anti-lock brakes. There are two different systems. RWAL, and 4WAL. Look under the hood, if you see the motor/controller, you have 4WAL.

Either that, or look at the front wheels, are there speed sensors in front? That's 4WAL.
