Check ontop of the transmission bell housing. I believe there's an orange wire going to it.

1999 Ford F-250 4x4. The ABS light is on, and the speedometer doesn't work. I replaced the speed sensor on the differential. It is still doing it. Plus it shifts hard and won't go into 3rd gear.

Question edited for clarity and make some real sentences.
Question moved to model category.

See the first video, but by the sounds of it, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose these faults electronically. ABS, Speedometer and Transmission Solenoids.

EtON 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Diesel 5 speed trans. ABS light on, brake light on and speedometer starts working about 20mph.

there is an ABS sensor on top of the rear axle, and they are known to cause these symptoms-check the wiring, connector, and replace it if necessary, they are about $30 and is held in place with one bolt.

2000 ford explorer 4x4 edie bauer changed the speed sensor at the rear diferential but the odometer doesnt work still, tach works fine

The abs sensor is the one located on the rear differential, not the speed sensor. It is located on the rear of the transmission housing.

1999 4x4 dodge ram abs light &brake light has been on about a week. brake fluid &brakes are good. any suggestions

If you lose the speedometer, replace the rear differential speed sensor on top. If the speedo is ok, then it's your ABS pump/solenoid unit in the engine compartment left rear side. Most of the 99's have only the rear ABS, not front so don't look at the front brakes for the issue.

I have a 1999 dodge ram 1500 4x4 that the speedometer don't untell it get to 60+ why is that and the brake light stays on but I think the light was on befor the speedometer stop working.

From what I have read this sounds like a problem with the second speed sensor located on back at the rear axel on top of the differential. If the cable is loose or the sensor is bad it will cause the brake light to come on and the speedometer to act funny. There are two speed sensors...one in the transmission and the one on the differential. The second one is probably the problem.

2000 ford expedition xlt, 2WD. anti lock brake indicator on. fluid ok, brake disk look ok. disconnected battery, still comes on. lines to both front wheels and rear look in good shape , appears the front...

YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE ABS DIAGNOSED. IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY AN ELECTRICAL FAULT OR COMM PROBLEM. POSSIBLY ECU OR A SPEED SENSOR. MOST COMMON TRY TO REPLACE DIFFERENTIAL MOUNTED SENSOR ON REAR DIFFERENTIAL, MOUNTED RIGHT ON TOP OF DIFFERENTIAL,CAN'T MISS IT HAS WIRE GOINF TO TOP OF DIFF AND HAS 10MM BOLT HOLDING IT IN.

Erratic speedometer with ABS and brakelight lit

same problem here, found 3 places that say it is the abs sensor:

Had this problem with my 1999 Ram 1500. There is a sensor at the top of the rear differential for the ABS system. That sensor went bad and replacing it took care of the problem. What caused mine to go bad was apperantly water got into the differential when launching and loading my boat. check to see if gear lube needs to be replaced also.
The answer above is perfectly correct. When the ABS sensor on the diff goes bad the speedo no longer will work, the odometer stops recording mileage and both brake and ABS light comes on. You also loose O/D or "Lock-up" in the torque converter. The sensor is inexpensive and can be changed in about 30 mins. Good Luck!

The fix for your truck is the ABS speed sensor located in the top of the differential housing , held in with one stud . Your speedometer is calculated through the ABS controller. Replacing that sensor will fix your problem.
