My brake light & ABS light on my dash are on and my speedometer does not work until I reach 20 mph. I was told by several people this was probably an ABS rear wheel speed sensor problem. I went over to Pep Boys (auto parts store) to buy a new sensor and I was talking with the service advisor describing my problem and he told me he thought it was a clock spring located in the steering column. I would appreciate any thoughts about this. Thank you.
