no fix in sight, two dealers can't figure it out, so I E-mailed dodge directly and mentioned the problem along with the number of people complaining about it on this site, they responded with "we don't know what it could be, try and find a dealer who can fix it"Lots of help that is!!!

ABS Light and Brake light came on, no check engine light on, which could help :(. Oil Pressure gauge drops to 0 when I stop and then bounces back up to normal. Speedometer also doesn't kick in until 15 MPH. I am going to probably change the speed sensor on the rear differential. I already had to change the one on the transmission so I know what problems that one causes. This really isn't causing any problems other than lights on. Vehicle is running good but this goofy electrical just had me change my alternator on suspicion and found belt was bad so changed it. When restringing the belt I noticed my tensioner spring was shot so I had to put a new one of them on and now something is really squeaking in there and I think it's the idler pulley. I am praying it's the idler pulley otherwise it's the damn water pump. I hate Dodge. They suck and they suck to work on too. I don't like my ford either. They all suck but at least Chevy makes their vehicles mechanic friendly.

I had the same problem. My ABS and brake lights were on and the speedometer did not register lower than 20mph. After scanning I noticed the rear differential speed sensor wasn't registering. I pinpoint tested it and sure enough it was dead. It is a sensor bolted to the top of the rear differential. Replacement is quick, easy, and costs about $24.00 for a new sensor. After that was replaced everything went back to normal.

I'm having the same problems others are mentioning here. First abs brake light wouldn't go off. Mechanic swapped out the abs module and that wasn't the problem. Then speedometer & odometer just stopped working, now last night check engine is constantly on.. this has all happened this week. Has anybody resolved there issues with the same troubles and what was it... Thanks.

First the ABS light and Brake light stayed on and the speedometer doesn't kick in until about 50 K/H (about 30 miles/hour) and now while I was driving down the side of a mountain the truck just stopped working. I'm uncomfortable thinking of going to the mountains again until this gets fixed.

Abs lights, brake lights and check engine light come on. Also the speedometer does not work. Dealership has had it off and on for several months and can't figure it out. Have to return the car to me with out being able to fix it and have no suggestions!

Aug. 2005 ABS and brake light came on . did not know how to fix the problem. A few months later the speedometer would not register below 20mph. Then the check engine light came on. a diagnostic test revealed that it was the speed sensor. So we replaced the sensor in the trani ( did not know about the other one). The problem was not fixed. Nov.2006 I found this website and the info about the speed sensor on the rear differential. bought the sensor for about $50. Everything was fixed. Lights all off, speedometer working, it was great. Now 6 months later ABS and brake light just came on..... WTF!!!!
