My dakotas abs and brake lights were on and the speedo wouldnt register till about 30 mph so i replaced the rear abs speed sensor on differential and reset computer. Seemed to work abs went off brake light went off so i took it out to try and speedo wouldnt register at all now and after about 1-2 miles speedo turns on and immediately abs and brake light come on and brakes go to floor before i come to a stop. If i turn the truck off and right back on the lights are gone then as soon as speedo starts working they come on again. I checked fluid level replaced both rear wheel cylinders and now i am unsure what to do im 17 with a minimum wage job and this truck is all i have please any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

brake fluid low?

suspect wrong ABS sensor and recheck with the part store you bought at
