OK...I need some help. I have a 99 v6 3.9L dak with about 60K miles. BRAKE light is ON, ABS light is ON, and my speedometer doesn't work below 30 mph. I suspect the BRAKE light could mean I need rear brake shoes (just did the front in the spring). I'm not sure about the ABS light and speedo. Could all three be related? Where should I start?

Speed senser located on your rear axle housing. Should fix it all. Remove codes after changing

So many problems .... So little time

My Haynes manual is not being very helpful. Is the sensor located on the topside of the rear differential hub? Is it just an 'unscrew old, screw in new' operation...or is it more complicated?
Thanks,

Yeah...never changed it...but from what I've heard...top of the differential. Disconnect the wire connector, unscrew old (make sure you don't snap it off), screw in new. Reconnect.

You may have to reset your PCM so it'll read it correctly...I usually do it just in case.
