You can borrow a code reader at Autozone or most auto parts stores, long as you're just going out to the parking lot with it they don't charge anything.

 

one of your abs sensors is misaligned. it only happens when you brake or slow down. take a quick look to see if one is sitting funny

 

Borrowed code reader from Advance Auto...
No codes...
This irritates me so much because this is now the third Dodge vehicle in a row (04 SRT4, O5 Dakota, 08 Dakota) that I've had that has had a frustrating problem that seemingly cannot be solved. Sometimes I wonder if there's a target on my back. I'd like to get through a year without bringing my vehicle in for service...

 

exactly what i was thinking.. or could just be bad......

 

also, go to the gas station and over inflate your tires. see if it goes away.

 

It won't throw a code if the "check engine" light is not on. It could be a seat belt sensor. It also could be the window wash empty sensor is malfunctioning. I can tell you that the chime when mine is low scares the crap out of me instantly thinking something is wrong until I see that my mileage indicator has change to "low washer"(or whatever it says).

 

Thanks again for all your thoughts on this. I've got an appointment at the dealership on Monday. I'll let you know what they find out.

 

Took the truck to the dealer repair this morning. Verdict is the new instrument cluster is defective. Will replace tomorrow. I doubt that this will solve the problem, but we'll see.

 

Wth, sorry to hear its another cluster... hopefully this fixes it
