I have a 2002 Ram 1500 w/ a 360 auto (14 bolt pan). I all the sudden lost the speedometer along with the cruise. I replaced the Speed sensor on the left hand side of the transmission near the tailshaft. Nothing. I dont see any fuses for the cruise or speedometer, just relays. Anyone know what this might be? I know there is another sensor on the rearend but I think it has something to do with the ABS system. Thanks

The speed sensor on top of the differential (rear end) is the sensor for the speedometer if it is bad your cruise will not work. But as a long time Chrysler mechanic I have also replaced alot of wiring harness that go to that sensor as well. Not to worry it,s a short harness (3 or 4 feet) and not very expensive or hard to replace.Good luck.

if a scan tool is available go to data menu and scroll down to vehicle speed road test and verify that the engine computer sees speed if yes suspect the speedometer head. if no check wiring to engine computer this is a a.c. pulse type sensor so a pinched or nicked wire making ground contact will result in a no signal, very rarely the signal will die in the computer even as the scan tool reads a proper signal-but this is so rare it probably is not worth the mention, i personally suspect the speedo head. if under 70k miles you may have some warranty left.

the sensor in the rear end works your abs, the dash gets its signal from abs module, replace the rear speed sensor in the rear end and your speedometer will work and the abs light will go off. this is a common problem.
