Here’s how to fix an ABS Brake Light Fault on a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500. The problem is most likely the ABS speed sensor. You can buy the exact part I used to fix my truck from the link below. Make sure to double check that it fits your vehicle by using the amazon fit check feature. I saved 50% – 66% compared to the cost at the auto parts chains around my house.

In many cases there is nothing wrong with the sensor. The c clips break and the debris gets stuck to the sensor which is magnetic. The metalic debris tricks out the sensor and creates the fault.
I replaced the part and now the speedometer works, but abs and brake light is still on…..
My abs and brake light are on on my 2002 2500 Cummins. I replaced the speed sensor but no luck. Do you have any suggestions that could help me out?
All the chain stores will price match anything online
I watched this video on Friday afternoon, by Saturday morning I purchased and installed the ABS speed sensor on my 1999 Dodge 1500 truck. Thanks for the video. You done good kid.
does it work the same way woth a dodge dakota
What's the link to the part?
Now your speedo didnt work at all? And did it keep overdrive from working?
Elliot, great video!
Been driving with these lights on for almost a year.
Purchased the speed sensor on EBay for $9.99 free shipping. Easy to change.
Drove the truck, 1995 Dodge cummins, this morning and the lights are off.
Thanks a lot for the info.!
Thank you Elliot, I followed your youtube instructions and replaced my speed sensor. It corrected my problem on my 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins diesel of ABS, Brake light fault and also no speedometer readings. It took less than 1 hour after buying the sensor. Thanks again!!
Is this sensor the same gor the 1500 dodge ram 1998?
Thanks for the vid! I have some good u-pull it yards in my town. I went there instead of ordering new. I tried to pull 7 & got 3. Trouble I had was harness wouldn't come off 1, both screws turned together on 2 (can get them out, just a lil more difficult). The biggest problem is the sensor wouldn't come out. They would spin, but not come up. Forcing one with a crowbar broke it, and the bottom part stayed in the pumpkin – the sensor has a nice big magnet and copper coil inside.
I don't have any idea how to get a stuck one out – pb blaster? Luckily on my truck it came out pretty well and the first used sensor I tried took care of the issue. Oh and I don't think I was charged for them! They rang up the bigger items I had and glossed over the small stuff. Good luck all! P.s. My '99 2500 has 84k miles and it happened after pulling a full 12×6 uhaul 5 hours.
