Changed out rear sensor and now ABS/airbag lights are still showing lit, not to mention that annoying *ding-ding* and speedo going wacko. Do you think I might have an electrical problem, as well? Runs fine and brakes work, as well. Thanks in advance for any input, hope it isn't too complicated for myself to fix. <br><br>Tina in Texas

Phox,<br>Thanks for the reply. I drove it around this afternoon and it seemed to gradually get better. Didn't even act up at all on the drive home. Thanks for the brake cleaner tip. Have some here, I think. <br>I appreciate it,<br>Tina Dear<br>Quitman, Tx.

Oh ya, just thought of this too.<br><br>Sometimes after you fix the problem that caused the &quot;idiot lights&quot;, it takes a couple of starts to clear the codes, and therefore the lights.<br><br><br>phox

Phox,<br>Thanks, still gonna check the connecters, as well. You know, I didn't even mind the lights being on,.....it was that irritating *ding-dinging* that got to me. ;D<br>Anyhow, Thanks,<br>Tina

My lights went out and the spedo started working again right away. ???<br>I'll bet it will take a few starts like Phox said.

Copenhagenjunkie,<br>I think ya'll are right, ......got into the truck earlier (bad storm, tornado watch) to move under carport and lights were on. :'( Anyhow, will clean connector tomorrow and see how that works. <br>Thanks alot, you guys,<br>Tina<br><br>Hey, is you name based on your &quot;chew&quot;?

Is there a speed sensor on the back of the transfer case (4x4) or on the trans (4x2) for the speedometer reading could this be bad.

cummingetsome,<br>I changed out the sensor that sits about the rear differential, it seems to give me some trouble days after I had it on, but, today ran without and ringing or lights blinking on. Hopefully the problem has been corrected. Thanks. I appreciate everyone for getting back with me. Too bad ya'll don't live closer. <br><br>Tina in Texas

Dodgegirl I am not sure about the newer ones but on the older ones there was a sensor on the transfer case or trans for the speedometer If you have more problems you might look at it and see if you have one it will look similar to the one you changed on the rearend. Matt
