My name is Dalton. I have a 2009 Ram 1500. 4 inch lift, 35 Grabbers, airaid, k&N, Bully Dog. Love ol Betsy. Shes good to me. But lately, all of a sudden, the abs light, esp bas, traction control light and service 4 wheel drive indicator lights comes on all at once. truck jerks when this happens. Then hours later they all go off and Betsy jerks. Then on again and so on. Please help

I have the exact same problem as you, it started in April and would only come on when I would hit a puddle or drive through rain, now it's been on all summer, never had a chance to bring it in, cruise control also doesn't work and traction control. A buddy of mine has the same truck, and same thing happened to him, he said it was a bad wire going to one of the wheel for probably a sensor. I haven't checked mine yet but plan to before the winter, it's probably just a split wire somewhere. .

id bet you got a bad wheel speed sensor. the symptoms you describe point right to that.

Any news on that?

I just looked at my truck and found a split wire right at the connection close to the shock mount. There is a clip there and the wire broke right at the connection. I'll try and splice it and rewire it, it should fix it.

Update, just spliced the wires and reconnected everything now works like a charm.
