What causes your speedometer and speed control to quit working and what causes your abs and brake light to stay on in a 1999 dodge Dakota truck?

Well your speedo probably isn't mechanical, so i'd guess there's a problem with the sending unit in your transmission. There could also be something as simple as a loose wire. That could also probably be the problem with the cruise control, seeing that's how it regulates it's speed. The ABS and brake light, I'm not so sure about. But you should probably get that checked out ASAP. :)
Answer.
Definatly have the abs system checked. All three complaints could be caused by the same part. The vehicle speed sensor is the sensor on the top of the rear axle. The same sensor is for the abs, speedo, and cruise.

What causes the Odometer to stop working but the speedometer to continue working on a 1992 Crown Victoria LX 4.6L and what actions can be taken to repair this problem?
There are two possible actions: 1) Replace the speedometer head assembly, because that is where your problem is. 2) Ignore the broken odometer and forget about it. The speedometer and odometer are one assembly. The same input that drives the speedo also drives the odometer, so you have a problem in the head itself.
