Bought a usd 1991 dodge dakota. was told engine was replaced last year. was told no mechanical issues with truck. short test drive everything seemed fine. On way home with truck temp guage maxed out. any ideas as to possible problem?? also once home tried 4X4 which seemed to work well but when stopped anti locking brake light and barking brake light came on and will not go off. Guess this is what you get for trusting someone to be honest about selling a vehicle.. would appreciate any advice and oe suggestions.. thanks lots

Rear wheels lock up on my dodge dakota
What year Dakota? Drum Brakes?

Lock up when?

If you use the parking brake,then the cables
have to be replaced because of rust.

With proper brake maintenance once a year, there is no
reason to say they lock up while driving

My brake light is on in my 91 dodge dakota
you may check the preeure sensor on the master cylinder. Also, if the switch for the parking brake is stuck closed, or if the ABS speed sensor or monule have failed, it could have cuased these sysptoms.

Anti lock brake light won't go off
Check all the wiring to each wheel for a sensor is attached to the back side of each one. Road debries can shear a wire in two and cause the ABS light to stay on and have good brakes at the same time

1996 dodge dakota Abs and brake light stay on all the time on the dash board. which module needs to be replaced??
On a Dodge when you have a problem with the anti-lock brake system or the hydraulic brake system it turns both lights on. You need to have your truck inspected to find out which one has the problem.

Electrical problem, 91 dakota
It could be a blown fusible link. These are hidden in the wiring on most cars either near the battery connections, or near the starter motor. To find, use a test lamp and start at the battery and work your way along the power wires until you get t a place where there is no power. There is usually a lump or narrow spot in a wire where the link is.
