85 's didn't have protection like newer computers. Most likely blew the ABS Module. This could account for no cruise and speedo. The radio could also be blown. But check fuses first.

Check fuses. You probably damaged the ecm or bcm.

My speedometer stop reading on my 1995 c280 mercedes

Bad speed sensor on the trans if its an elctronic sensor if its mechanical then it would be a bad speedometer gear or broken cable. Sounds like its electronic so its a bad speed sensor parts a lil spendy but mostly its a pain in the *** to get to

SRS - BAS/ASR & ABS lights are remaining on 1995 Mercedes C280

Well, it could mean that the emergency brake has not been fully released.The ABS system light is on if something has occurred within the ABS system. Something faulty may have happened there, get it checked out!

I changed the vss and the 4wabs sensers and the wires are good but my speedometer is still jumpy and my abs does not work on my 95 ford bronco but i dont have any codes that i am aware of is it possiable a...

on my 94 i didnt have codes either,but the electric motor failed on the abs due to moisture.the speedometer on mine jumps too,but mine with 220,000 miles it was the gauge cluster,couldnt tell if i was driving 5 miles per hour too slow or too fast.the cruise may be the clock spring behind the steering wheel,but most of the time the horn wouldnt work or the air bag light would be on and beeping

2003 dodge ram 1500 abs & brake light came on. also cruise does not work. any suggestions

Problem: I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 L HEMI. My ABS and Parking Brake lights were illuminated, and my speedometer needle would "bounce". Also when sitting at a stop sign or just sitting idle, the engine would stall, and often times stop running.

Solution: After long research on this problem, I decided to dig in and try to find the problem myself. I replaced the Rear ABS Sensor
($35) that's located on top of the rear differential. Still no fix. I then unplugged the ABS Controller (or Module) that's located directly behind the battery (You should see the metal brake lines running into the top of it.) When I unplugged it, I noticed LOTS of moisture in the plug. Using an air hose, I blew out the water and let it dry good. When I plugged it back in, and hooked the negative battery terminal back up THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED!! Simple fix. Hope this helps.
