Default Rear wheel speed sensor

Good Morning,
I have a 99 1500 2wd, The rear wheel sensor is bad.
brake light and abs light stay lit and speedo doesn't registister till 20mph.
I looked in my repair manuel and it only shows a speed sensor on the transmition. Where is the rear wheel speed sensor?

It is right on top of the rear differential. Very simple to replace and a very common problem.
