Cant seem to figure out whats wrong with my truck, the check engine light is p0500 ive replaced the sensor on the rear axle and transmission,ohms read fine at the axle connector, Ive traced cables, im not getting any drops throughout, im at a loss. I just finished looking into the fuse box under the hood for corrosion

Vehicle speed sensor. On yours, that's the sensor on the rear axle. Unplug it, does the no bus go away?

You have something else on the 5 volt bus failing then. Start unplugging sensors, see if one of 'em gets the dash back.

I disconnected the Vss sensor, transmission tail shaft sensor, and the abs module. The same lights are still on. I might also mention I replaced all 3 sensors, what would u recommend I disconnect next?
