speedo and odometer not working

[lenni stine]

The speedo/ odometer suddenly stopped working on my 2.5l 4x2 manual 2000 ford ranger and the abs light also came on, any suggestions. The two may be unrelated problems??

I think the speedo is an electronic type that recieves its signal from the speed sensor located on the rear axle. This is the same sensor used by the abs system. I don't know how to check the sensor itself but can check the wiring,

Maybe someone else knows how to check the sensor.

in your truck your speed sensor and abs sensor are one in the same. its like 18, 19 bucks

thanks, I located the speed sensor on the rear case and the wiring looks good going back to the engine, so I'll change out the sensor and see what happens. Thanks again.
