Is this right??

My ABS light came on this morning and my speedo stopped working too, and from what I have found in my searches is that the differential sensor may be un-hooked. Right, wrong, other reasons for the problem??

and I know this sounds retarded but is the differential sensor actually on the rear differential or some where else??

I had this problem recently with my F150 and this is what I did (I'm guessing the vss is the same on these axles). https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...vss-broke.html

Check the fuses first. I had the same issue with my '95 F150 and it was a fuse down by your left knee.

I think you're right. Same thing happened to me a month or so ago, ABS light came on and no speedo. Replaced Rear Antilock Brake Sensor -RABS, for about $20. Piece of cake, it's right on the top of the rear diff held in by one bolt, maybe 12 or 13mm, can't remember exactly.
