 Subject: New fix for ABS , Brake light &SPEEDO
IP: Logged
Message:
Ok guys I have a 95 dakota and had developed the ABS & Brake light syndrome. After reading all the fixes and trials on here I ended up replacing the rear wheel sensor which in some cases maybe a fix for some (my truck doesnt have ABS). In my case this did not repair the fault. So I decided that I would trace the wiring from the sensor to see where it came from. On following it forward on the drivers side chassis it ends up in the engine bay. Now this is where my problem lay. If all dodges are like mine and as the wiring loom passes along the chassis it also passes up to the engine bay via the front wheel arch (that is if the wiring harness retainers are broken) and it was hanging in the wheel well. Well I have slightly oversized tires on the truck which often rub the inner well on tight turns. Guess what else it was rubbing? The wiring harness. Guess which one and only wire was broken? The one going to the speed sensor. On repairing the wire viola no more ABS or Brake light.
So a lot of you may want to try and trace the wiring harness from the rear of your vehicle to where it passes up to the engine bay (drivers side) and see if you have the same problem, especially if you have oversized tires on the truck.
Those with speedo problems may want to do the same, as this may also be your problem with the speedo not working till you hit a certain speed. It may all be related to getting no signal from the rear speed sensor.
I ohmed the sensor both new but cant recall the reading, if any of you guys want to know I can check on my old one that I took out as it read the same as the new.
I hope to have aided at least some of you guys on this problem as I know its bugging a lot of you.
Jock
