ABS light, Speedometer, and Gas gauge problems
My ABS light, Speedometer, and Gas gauge weren't working so i changed the sensor on the top of my read diffenential and they all worked which surprised me. But now when i press the brake pedal it has the abs vibration every time i hit the brakes. Whats up with that, im pretty sure its not normal?

Yup, the ABS ring in the differential does 'double duty'. It is the speed sensor and the ABS sensor. So, it could correct your ABS and Speedo problems but, certianly not a speedo/gas gauge problem, I think that's what Ymeski is getting at, sometimes he's a bit ambiguous....

Oh yea and i forgot to mention the speedometer needle does not stay steady it bounces a lot instead of staying steady what could be causing that?

How long w/o speedo? Same time w/o ABS? W/o guage? I'm woundering if you have rotor problems that didn't stand out prior. Then again, your ABS function & Speedo are not static. I bet your gauge is a happy camper though! If not, it's ground related. Wait a minute, when you say the ABS light was not working, do you mean it wouldn't light, and now it does, or visa versa or what???
