Thanks for the heads-up, I think I'll try a few cheap fixes first - next step is to replace the ABS switch connector and wiring, see: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171113332812?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648

Can someone please offer some advice - the speedo stopped working and the ABS dashboard light stays on on my 2002 Cherokee (KJ) Liberty, 2.5 CRD Ltd. When this happened previously I searched on this forum which pointed me to the ABS sensor on the rear diff. It appeared to be a lose connection at the sensor, so I just taped the wires up and bent the handbrake retainer away as it was fouling the sensor/wires - the speedo worked and the ABS lights went out and all was well for about 4 months. Unfortunately that didn't work this time! So assuming the ABS senor was faulty it was replaced, but no change. What else should I look for and where - I looked to see if the sensor and speedo were fused, but it appears not?? Advice most welcomed. Many thanks Andrew |

Same thing happened to me. Its the speed sensor. The trouble is the entire assembly has to be replaced. I tried the sensor but it blew out soon after. The entire assembly (500.00) had to be replaced. |

Go back to that rear diff sensor and inspect the wires going to it. I'm a Jeep tech and have found many "green" corroded wires in this area. |

Thanks for the tech-tip and I suspect you may be right - hopefully replacing the connector and wiring will cure the problem. Cheers |
