ABS dash light
I have a 1993 ranger with 4 cyl my ABS dash light is always blinking but the brakes operate fine how do I get the light to stop flashing? Also my ranger is a 2wheel drive and I replaced the 14 inch wheels with 15 inch wheels from a 4 x4 ranger now the speedo is off by 5 to 10 miles per hour I tried changing the speedo cable gear in the tranny but made no diff any ideas on how to fix this?

No, light started flashing after I hit a bump in the road. I checked the codes but codes go up to like 13 flashes and my light flashes like 15 times then pause and starts over. I added the 15 inch tires after the light started.Also I changed a sensor on the rear axle pumpkin but no change.

Post your ABS trouble code Numbers. You can check out the meanings here.
Trouble Code Search
Sounds like you may have an electrical problem, with the ABS light coming on after hitting a bump.
Have a look at both front ABS sensors, their wiring & electrical connectors, the wheel tone ring for damage or rust or debris on it's ribs, or on the ABS wheel sensor.
Let us know what you find.

Thank you for your reply pawpaw I will inspect the front wheels to see if anythine was damaged. As far as the speedo goes I dont have the money to pay any1 to work the computer but i do have my GPS to help me stay at the correct speed when needed. I will also recheck the codes with with the list and post what I find out.
