Any mechanics out there? My Dodge Dakota's ABS and Brake warning lights both came on late last night. Brakes seem fine. Also noticed the speedometer bouncing back and forth betwen 0 and actual speed. Any ideas what the problem may be?? Assume it's a sensor or dash/gauges problem and not actual mechanical with the brakes??

You need a diagnostic test run to be sure, but my first thought is the speed sensor is bad.
 

What year is the Dakota ?
What engine does it have ?
What transmission ?
2 wheel or wheel drive ?

Time for a trip to autozone to get the codes read from your computer.

Off the cuff guess is a speed sensor like Pacfanweb said.
