Wheres the speed sensor on the rear axle? Top of the punkin?

 

This is all greek to me too. I just got this truck about 2 months ago. I am really leaning twards it being the brake switch on the pedal. Maybe ill grab one after work and try it out!

 

Yah, on top of the pumpkin..

 

Local Checker has the switch for $11. Im going to grab it on the way home then ill let ya know how it works!!

 

Look at the speed sensor. Here's a pic of it. From everything I've gotten from people it's either got water in it, or it's bad. Yeah, it's on top of the rear diff.

Well as of now the switch cleared up my issue. At least the light part. Well see if i get the warning lights tomorrow when i drive it.

 

Roamrocker.. Let me know Mine was flashing all the way to work this morning ...stupid bells.. I called Advanced auto and they dont have a listing for the speed sensor and said ill have to go to the dealer??? I had the same crap with my Dakota had to get parts from the dealer only at prices inflated by 400% So If I can change the brake switch for like under 20 bucks Ill do that first before paying a weeks pay at the dealer for a 40 dollar speed sensor.

 

Ok thats was painless Called Dodge and the speed sensor is only $17 dollars?? Wow something cheap at a dealership??? Ill get it and try it later tonight and will let you know if that takes care of the issue.

 

Sounds good, The dash warning lights wouldnt always come on either. Easiest was i knew if i was having a problem was to try the cruise control. Im bout to head to work, ill post up if its gone or not.

 

OK, i got no warning lights but the cruise control STILL didnt work. I did notice that if i used my foot to pull up on the brake pedal then the cruise would work until i left off. When i pulled up on it it seemed like a tiny amount but it must just be enough. Im going to put something between the light switch and the tab on the pedal to push that button in a little more and that should fix my problem.
