I have a 1998 5.9L Jeep Grand Cherokee. I know this is on the rear diff; but, I was wondering if there's a sensor on the front diff? My front diff is shot and I get an intermittent ABS Light. I was wondering if the light might correlated to the diff? I'll post some videos later on; so, you can see. I should've looked; while, the vehicle was up on jacks. But definitely if there is one, I will measure resistances on the different sensors.

My abs and brake light comes on randomly after doing a brake job. The speedo still works and the cruise still works just fine. I'm thinking maybe I messed up a sensor since I had to beat one of the rotors off. Any suggestions? It is driving me damn nuts with the stupid beep every time those lights come on.

Should've sprayed some Blaster on that fitting eh bro? Things coem off much easier with that stuff or "Liquid Torch".

I have a 1998 Durango 5.2L . Got a Dorman ABS Sensor at Walmart.com Part Number 970-024 . you will need a13mm socket and a 14mm Deep Socket, a flat head screwdriver and a medium size channel lock. Everything you see in this video is correct! Take your time and you can do this! Hardest part is having to pry that sensor out. I did exactly like this guy did to get it out. After my wife prayed over the truck I started it and the ABS light and brake light did not turn on. AMENTime to go get an inspection sticker now!!Remember to take your time and don't get frustrated it will come out using tender loving car. GOOD LUCK!

great video. jimthecarguy rocks! looks like my weekend is shot!

Alex Hofmann says:

Okay video with the exception of you can't see the readings on the meter or the meter settings in your video. both are out of focus but on the good sensor you are not showing the screen of the muti meter. was the ohms set to 200 and what were the readings? I think my new sensor is bad.

I have a 97 dakota 5.2l with an abs/brake light illuminated but speedometer still works, any ideas?

Mark Rogers says:

very good video, we need more of these type of videos on the dakota, I have a 2000 and a 2005 both 4.7l v8s.

I just checked mine out, and it definitely is just a wiring issue by the connector. I didn't see any breaks in wiring so I assume it is in the connector itself. I figure it is just cheaper to replace the whole thing , as the brand of sensor I am getting comes with a short wire and I can just splice it into the old wiring. After the speedo goes out and ABS lights come on, I can just wiggle the wiring and it starts working again..

Thanks for the video, though, jimthecarguy, as I was not able to find where the connector disconnected from sensor and the video showed me.

could this also go for a dodge ram Laramie 1500. my ABS light brake light engine light all came on at the same time and my speedometer stopped working all the same time my a/c goes out when u hit the brakes just right. when we hook it up to the diagnosis it comes up 72 ROM comes up, but nothing else it wont let us reset and or reprogram. even the direction thing will tell u that ur going north whe. ur really going south. do u have any suggestions if so u are more in welcome to email me ur thoughts thank u
