    I had the same Problem on my 1999 2500 RAM it was the rear ABS sensor mounted on the Rear Axle

    The rear ABS sensor mounted on the rear axle also acts as a speed sensor to let the abs system know the speed of the vehichle

    Yes I did get this fixed. It was the ABS Module. It's best to go to the dealer and have it fixed since you have to have the VIN flashed and computer reprogramed after the work is done .. its roughly 550.00

    No need to get your ABS Module replaced... they only tell you this to get more money. I fixed mine by simply unplugging the ABS Module that's located directly behind the battery. The plug connector on Dodge's has a problem letting moisture/water get into the plug. Use an air hose to blow out the moiture and you can even let it dry out for a bit. Then plug back in, and the problem should be fixed.

    Sounds like my prob. Cheack out your abs computor eather went bad or wireing is broken. If its a van its under the battery. Dont let this go may be shorting out like mine and almost went on fire because it is still hot even with the key off!

    I don't know how to post a question, but hopefully someone can help me with a similar problem?

    I have a 2006 Durango that the reverse light is stuck on, this has recently killed 2 batteries before I found out that it was the reverse light stuck on. This is not the only issue I have had with my durango and all if it seems to be electrically related. I have taken this into the dealership a dozen times with them not finding anything and $$$ later I am still out with these issues.

    If someone would kindly assist, please let me know or send me an email please.

    Thanks
