Thats is the light for your parking brake, it could be as simple as the brake has been slightly engaged. i.e. it was accidently pressed down just enough to turn the light on, but not engage the brake, getting in or out of the durango. It could aslo be signaling that there is a problem with the parking or emergency brake. In most cases the Emergency/Parking brake is in the rear rotors. If your mechanicly inclined that would be a good place to start if you have never done rear brakes yet feel confident enough to try it i would recommend getting a haynes or chiltens manual . If all else fails and you cant find anything wrong take it to a reputable brake shop, Brakes are the one thing on your vehicle you dont want to "hope" it fixes itself or leave to chance.

It is acually called the vehicle speed sensor I do believe. It should should be located on the top of your transmission with a wiring harness attached to it. It should also have 1 bolt holding it in also. Whatever you do, do not rotate the gear when you remove it. Try to mark the exact way it came out when you replace the sensor. When you pull the sensor out it will have this gear attached to it which will need to be placed into the new sensor and put back into the vehicle in the same way it came out or you will throw a code and it will not be pretty. Good luck, hopefully I didn't scare you it can be a simple repair just mind your P's and Q's.

Front, remove the hold down clip, should be a 7mm or a 45 torx bit to get the slider pins out. If you are not sure what you are doing, please spend a little money and have a pro do it for your safety, and the safety of others around you.

if i am not mistaken the fuel filter is built into the fuel pump. which requires you to drop the tank and replace both.

I assume you've checked the fuses and relays inside your car and the ones under your hood....
If you look above your brake pedal, you should see a switch connected to some wires. This is your brake light switch that controls your brake lights. It sounds like this may be faulty...If you find out that this switch is good.. then it could be your electronic flasher module, but not as likely
