Tires: tires-brakes-speedometer interaction, dodge ram 1500, abs light


Question
I had all 4 tires on my 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 replaced last weekend. 2 days later the brake light came on and the abs light stays on after startup. I checked the fluid level and it was okay, so I have made an appointment to have someone look at brakes, but today I noticed that the speedometer is only working sportatically. Could all this be related to some sensor or something that happened or went wrong when they had truck on rack replacing tires?

Answer
Jeanie,

I don't think the brake related problems were caused by the tire replacement.

There are quite a few things that might be causing your brake problems, a sensor being one of them, but it's best to have someone who can actually look at the vehicle do the diagnostics, rather than try to do this long distance.

Hope this helps.
