Good morning,
2001 Dodge Dakota has the ABS light and the brake light ON. Any idea what I
should be looking for to figure this one out...

If your brakes are working fine and you have good pedal, I would look at a
wheel speed sensor if I didn't have the error code. Getting an error code
for the problem is the best bet.

wery helpful marsh Wink

to answer the guys question in reality, the most likely and common cause
of this is the rear wheel speed sensor in the top of the axle housing. i
think its a $30 part.

no arguements about the fact that checking codes is the best thing to do,
but given the failure rate of the item i mentioned, it wouldnt be a
terribly unsafe bet to say that it probably is the culprit. dont forget i
said probably.
