2002 Dodge Dakota club, 3.9 auto. Brake pedal is soft, brakes but no resistance, pedal almost to floor. Changed booster and master cylinder, same issue

You have air trapped in the braking system somewhere. Have you bled the system thoroughly at all four wheels?
Have you changed the front calipers recently. Many years ago, I helped a friend mount new calipers on his vehicle, and we put the new calipers on the wrong side -- right one on the left side and vice versa. In this configuration, the bleeder screw wound up on the lower portion of the caliper instead of at the top, where it needs to be to allow trapped air to come out. Just a thought.

Search for the brake fluid leak the brake system is a sealed unit if going through fluid like crazy it is leaking somewhere look under at back of tires and along the top of fuel tank for fluid if not noticeable on floor also inspect the brake booster

Front calipers,rotors and pads new,put new master cylinder and booster on.now we cant seem to bleed brakes,pedal goes to floor and the abs and brake lights stay on

the reason may be : the brake booster is lack of pressure.

1999 dodge dakota Abs light on and e-brake light on. Speedometer doesn't read untill 25 mph

The speed sensor that controls the speedometer is located in the top of the rear differential housing, this is your most likely problem and is very common with this vehicle. Being that it is a direct input to the ABS module it will cause those indicators to illuminate when the sensor fails.

Master cylinter is shot is my first thought. if it has been replaced with a referb.. replace it again. make sure you bench bleed the master cylinder before putting it on.. if it's new, you have a ton of air in the lines.. bleed the pass rear first/ drivers rear/ pass front/ pass rear.. FYI your brakes/ tires should never lock up, you have ABS.

did you bleed the master cyl. before or during installation? bleed brakes in proper order?RR LR RF LF? does it have a power booster between master cyl.& firewall?check for vacuum to booster.when ABS isn't working you should still have brakes.suspect power booster diaphram.

How do you bleed the master cylinder

this vehicle has ABS brakes (anto-lock) brakes with a computer that controls it. When you bleed the brakes on your vehicle the fluid goes through the ABS computer. If you don't have a pressure bleeder & the knowlage I wouldn't attempt this. You could cause air lock which will cause you brake pedal to go to the floor & not stop the car. Take it to an ABS brake licensed repair shop.

Dodge Dakota overdrive and ABS/brake problem

The problem could be in your differential. If the ABS traction ring has any defects in the teeth, the rear wheel speed sensor will stop registering and disable your ABS.
This may not resolve your transmission concern, but it may answer your ABS/Brake light problem.

Sounds as if there might be a brake fluid leak somewhere in the system.check the master cylinder to see if the brake fluid is low or almost empty,if the fluid is up then it could be a master cylinder that has an internal leak(meaning the fluid is leaking past the internal seals but not leaking out of the cylinder).it also can be a problem with the abs hydraulic control module leaking.you should have the abs system checked for any codes in that system which may help find the problem quicker,if you don`t find any problem with the other suggestions

Thanks for the reply, upon some further crawling around under the truck in the snow and slush I finally found a corrosion hole in the main line on the frame right under the drivers door.
