No speedometer,abs or cruise control

My 98 Dodge 3500 was hit at the L/R wheels, jarring the rear axel,braking the L/R spring I've made the repairs but I have ,no speedometer ,no abs and no cruise control.Any ideas,could it all be related to the speed sensor at the rear housing?(all fuses are good)

Mysterious 98 5.2 liter automatic 4wd Dakota issue

all FUSES good .
big failure on your part is not scanning you own car
and posted all real seen DTC errors here.
and all ABS errors not told and there are some.

well most used tranny are no good
25 years old. gee super hard to get lucky there.
190f is not hot at all the engine is 180 to 200f hot normal thermostat spec.
or 225F up hills or pulling a heavy trailer. fans kick on,.
forget 25 year old cruise and gee if brakes lamps or VSS is dead all cruise failS and more.
AND THIS CAR ABS FAILS DEAD SO DOES CRUISE.
and tranny and cluster see why.

cruise drops out to if the PRNDL switch lies. as most do that old. (FOOLING YOU MECH)


the starter on any car made fails if PRNDL fails
aka; park neutrals witch or TRS switch, range switch
all do by law, so you can not drive over the kids in gear.
again it is NOT hot trans for sure, not hot. ok?

the bell housing metal and that poorly named transmission cooler in the main radiator is heater and a cooler. both, so the box warms upfast ON PURPOSE to engine temp , NORMAL .
and NOT WASTE FUEL. HOT ATF IS MORE SLIPPERY SEE?
so forget all that hot stuff. DOG CHASE TAIL.

no I am not tellING you ever that hot parts can not fail.
never hear me say that and i know why.

you do have ABS failures, it seem the question is
does ABS fail the transmission, 99% sure not in 1998.
I will now read your SM
AND THE ANSWER IS YES FOR SURE;

the speedo meter is dead (cluster) that means
TCM (tranny brain) can not ever shift by MPH speed ever. and cruise is dead if speed is dead.
VSS is dead,
only matters now is where is VSS1 speed sensor MPH located.
now the truth reading your service manual to you.

well on most 1998 cars and older it was be on the rear of the 4wd transfer case box NOT yours.


see how things change over time .?

but back 25 years to your car hear we go
RTM reading the manual)
the cluster has a computer and all data to the MPH meter come from CCD network comms.
using a real scan tool may show lost comms to cluster.
IDK I can not scan your car.
does the tach meter RPM work if YESthe Comms network is good.
next point of failure is.

ok page 1 of TCM (PCM) transmission controls show
it works just like me 2008 wrangler


THE ABS MUST BE WORKING OR THERE WILL BE NO WORKING TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR.
VSS IS IS CREATED BY THE ABS BRAIN
BUY AVERAGING 4 ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSORS.
keep in mind it may just average rear only ABS sensors. in turns one wheel goes slower. so...
math is does to cure this error.(ABS math)
on some cars the VSS is on the rear axle, pinion input shaft or off axle ring gear.
THE MAGIC IS ,NOT EVER NEEDING A 4WD BOX VSS SENSOR ON THE BOX. SAVING $15 PER CAR.
THAT IS THE WHY./
KILLING DEAD CLUSTER MPH AND CRUISE TOO.
CAN I ASSUME THIS VERSION OF TRUCK IS 4WHEEL ANTILOCK BRAKES AND NOT 2WHEEL (rabs) REAR ANTILOCK BRAKE VERSION OF CAR TOLD IN THE SERVICE MANUAL ,SM
????????????????
ALL BRAKE SWITCHES, BOTH PEDAL AND THE BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH INPUT TO ABS CONTROLLER MUST BE GOOD
AND ALL WHEEL SENSORS GOOD.
ONLY DODGE,ABS SCAN TOOLS WORK
. HERE. ABS IS NOT PART OF OBD2 SPEC.
THIS IS AT END NOW
SCAN YOUR CARS ABS
USING A REAL ABS SCAN TOOL
AND REPAIR ABS FIRST
NOT 190F NO 4 TRANSMISSION
NOT VSS SENSORS THAT DO NOT EXIST OUTSIDE ABS.




HARD PROOF PHOTO SCHEMATIC.

1992 ford f150 speedometer quit working and ABS light is on, also odometer is not working

where the speedometer cable goes into the transmission under the car, when removed from the trans there is a small gear that gets worn out over time.. that little gear or the entire speedometer cable needs to be replaced. An easy and inexpensive fix. I believe the ABS light is on because the computer needs the speed of the car to make its calculations for braking. As long as the speedometer is not working, it cannot do that. So after the speedometer cable issue is fixed, that issue should be fixed as well.

I changed the vss and the 4wabs sensers and the wires are good but my speedometer is still jumpy and my abs does not work on my 95 ford bronco but i dont have any codes that i am aware of is it possiable a...

on my 94 i didnt have codes either,but the electric motor failed on the abs due to moisture.the speedometer on mine jumps too,but mine with 220,000 miles it was the gauge cluster,couldnt tell if i was driving 5 miles per hour too slow or too fast.the cruise may be the clock spring behind the steering wheel,but most of the time the horn wouldnt work or the air bag light would be on and beeping

2002 dodge 1500 sport speedometer or cruise control

The brake and ABS light both come on when you are receiving no speed signal. Most likely the speed sensor in the top of the rearend is bad.

2002 Dodge Dakota

well because the abs light indicates a problem with your anti-lock braking system you need to find out why it is on.... keep in mind one quick way you would disengage your cruise is with the brake pedal.
under the hood is a fuse panel (often located near the battery) ... see if there is a relay in the for your cruise... replace that.

My check engine light is on, my speedometer do not work, my ABS light and Brake light is on.

it sounds to me that the clock spring inside your steering wheel is bad and needs replaced, as mine did the same thing, as well my cruise or horn did not work.
