1995 Dodge Ram ABS Problems

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Jeff Kolodziej, Jul 14, 2008.

  1. Dodge experts:

    I have a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 regular cab 4WD pickup with the
    5.9L V8. The truck has a little over 91K miles on it, and the
    amber "ABS" light is now coming on. When the ABS light
    comes on, the red "BRAKE" light comes on too. I replaced
    the front disc brakes at 87K miles (rear brakes are original),
    and I checked the brake fluid level (and checked for fluid
    leaks) - it is fine. So, I am sure the red BRAKE light is
    tied to the ABS light. The truck stops fine and brakes normally,
    further supporting that the BRAKE light just supports the ABS
    light.

    Any ideas what needs replacing to make the ABS light turn off?
    I am a relatively handy person used to using various tools - the
    hammer is my favorite tool!! :)

    Thanks for the help and suggestions.

    Regards,

    Jeff Kolodziej

    Only ABS light on has meaning only for this system.

    Currently is the break warning light off?
    Have you checked the wheel speed sensors and the connectors to the sensors?
