hey snoman enlighten us. how does a 488 v10 know when a spark knock condition exists it lets the owner know by throwing a rod out through the oil pan. g -- jerrydupstateny .

the abs light and brake light are both lit on my 96 ram 1500 4x4. i have seen posts about the rear axle speed sensor. this seems to be a common problem. i was looking at the fuse box in the engine compartment. it has a bunch of hi-amp fuses and some relays. there is a spot for a 40amp fuse labeled abs pump. this fuse is missing. i checked my chilton repair manual and i couldnt find any mention of this fuse. does this fuse need to be there or is it used for some optional accessory that i dont have on my truck the truck is fairly new to me and the abs light and brake light have always been on. dont want to buy the speed sensor if all i need is a replacement fuse. also i dont want to energize a connector somewhere if there is nothing attached to it. any help appreciated. thanks .

i have a 2004 dodge ram 1500. i have a problem with the instrument panel going hay-wire. all the lights come on and the odometer shows no bus the tachometer speedometer and other gauges flatline. i have checked the fuse box and no fuses appear to be burned out. anyone with an idea of the problem i have gone to mechanics and had diagnostics run and the only one with any answers was auto zone with codes u0155 and u0101. however i was told that the vehicle does not have and u error codes. i need some help figuring this out before i shell out $200 for the dealership to tell me it was a $1 problem. prejazz @ hotmail . com .
