First of all, sorry if I am over-posting.

They are distinct questions however.

My speedo works fine. My brake and ABS lights are on.

I read in the forums that there may be a sensor in the transfer case as well.

Is it possible that the speedo can still work if the rear sensor is bad?

Thanks in advance,

Transfer case has no sensor. Speedo can work, sometimes reasonablly correctlly.

 

Fair enough.

Is there any established, tried-and-true diagnostic procedure for the lights on?

ABS code-pull first?

 

Yes! Know thy failure.

 

I'll have to find out how to pull ABS codes...

 

The older trucks (such as yours) does infact have a sensor in the t-case (or tranny, in 2wds). I don't know if its related to the ABS system or not like in the 98+ trucks, so it may have nothing to do with your lights. Are they on from the get go, or do they come on after driving it for a while (past a certain speed)?

 

They are on 100% of the time.

I just figured out how to ground the wire to get the codes and it just blinks a repeating 7.

The regular brakes are phenomenal though.

 

Code 7 seems lousy.

What's the most efficient way to eliminate all the ABS stuff? Remove it and put in some lines going through?

I honestly don't need any warning lights for brakes, I can sense everything I might need to know through the controls.

 

Pull the ABS relay in the underhood fuse box.
The lights will stay on but the ABS won't work.

 

Actually, I had thought of just eliminating all of it but disabling wouldn't be a bad option necessarily.

Could I easily have brake light functional with ABS disabled and maybe ABS bulb pulled? The only thing I can think of use for brake light for is if wife drives truck and doesn't know e-brake is on.
