Dealer had our 96 4x4 Dakota for a week and gave up.
The brake light and ABS lights were on. I found this fourm and bought the speed sensor for the rear diff. for $15.00 and fixed the problem in under one hour!
Our speedometer was working but sometimes around 55 or 60 it would jump around.(still does this) This also fixed the cruise control that had been out for a couple of months.
Thanks to all who posted as the dealer quoted me around $1,000.00 to fix it IF they could!

1999 Ram 1500 2 wd(auto) Yep another! 3 days ago had NEW TIRES & Air SHOCKS installed. TODAY, the ABS & Brake lite comes on(Would you not know it, SAT. AFTERNOON at 3:30 Pm when all the Garages close at 3:00Pm or earlier!). Will check tomorrow if the Tail lights, Cruise & Speedo works at or below 30 or not. I did not notice about any other than the LIGHTS on the Dash, when we were driving it today, it(Speedo) worked at HIGHER SPEEDS.. WILL ALSO look at the Cruise Control as we did not use that today. We were just worried about getting home in one piece! Have an appointment for MONDAY(Tomorrow being SUNDAY...)at the DEALERSHIP. We have an EXTENDED-EXTENDED WARRANTY from DODGE. (Maximum Care Warranty for 18,000 more miles & 11 more months!)NOT LOOKING FORWARD to this visit as LAST YEAR, it took 5 visits(100+ miles round trip each trip) and many HOURS in the WAITING ROOM!)to get the last problem fixed(ERRATIC SPEED/Surging Idle also involving Cruise Control )- AND that was only fixed after I COPIED ANSWERS from the WEB Boards!!!AS there were HUNDREDS of DODGE RAM OWNERS with that PROBLEM! THROTTLE POSITION Sensor! IMAGINE when OWNERS have to go tell mechanics what is wrong! Anyway that was 1 yr ago exactly.. and here we are again! One thing you can count on at the DEALERSHIPS: LOTS of Salesmen trying to sell YOU A NEW ONE! Are there PEOPLE STILL wondering why they NEED BAILED OUT? I am just worrying that they will Take my Deductible, and when I drive out, it will start all over again! Last time they LIED(Said that it was the right CODE) replaced a Idle Control Motor and later found out that They LIED at the dealership as they did not want to deal with the PROBLEM!...DURING ALL 5 visits, they NEVER even Test DROVE the vehicle and 2 of the 5 visits they had the Vehicle for OVER a week! :(

2003 Dakota 2WD 3.9L. At first the seat belt light would come on while driving and everyone had their seat belts on. Then very infrequently all the dashboard gauges would shut off (go to the left like you turned the key off) but then come back on immediately. Now the frequency of the gauge failure has increased and the needles bounce off and on as you are driving. Sometimes all the idiot lights come on too. The strange thing is that even if I'm driving and the gauges are eradict, as soon as I come to a stop everything works fine. When I start moving again the gauges become eradict again. Sounds to me like it has something to do with the speed sensor, but a local automotive electric shop says it's the ABS computer that is causing the problem. Any thoughts?

Sounds like the Central Timer Module. I think it's on or behind the driver's side kick panel below the dash.

Message:
Daddio, is there a way I can check the CTM or is it just a plug and play guess? I have a new symptom with my eradict gauges that I described previously. I found that when the low fuel level light comes on the gauges work fine, not eradict. I drove around all weekend shopping with my wife and the gauges never fluctuated. As soon as I put gas in they became eradict again. It is almost like this light added a ground that fixed the problem. Does that shed any light on a possible cause?

I have a 98 dakota with similar issues. 318 with a 5 speed tranny, 4 wheel drive, with 99k.
abs and brake light on. Does'nt come on until you start moving, then comes on when you shift to third or forth gear. Speedo is nuts, shows anywhere from 0 to ???? lol I just replaved the sensor on the rear diff today.... still have the issues.
Here's what gets me. When you put it in four wheel drive it's fine. No lights, and the speedo works fine.
Anyone have any idea's??? Thank's, Ray
