    Hello, bought a 2005 base model 4wd recently, V6 as a hunting truck. Runs great, engine and transmission very smooth. Have several issues with instrument panel I’ve been working on. Speedometer and odometer don’t work, and gas gauge will go to full but never drops below 3/4 even when empty. ABS, check engine, and parking break light always on. Had instrument cluster tested and no issues with it, replaced transmission speed sensor and all four wheel speed sensors with no luck. Dropped fuel tank and tested the fuel sender, resistance tests out and is working well. Tested a new fuel sending unit and fuel gauge still won’t correct. Does this sounds like a ECM issue. I’m no mechanic, just YouTube trained. Thanks for advice

    While we wait for @TnShooter and @Dm93 and @Bishop84 to show up let me ask if there are any codes you have pulled? And if the brake master is full of fluid and the e brake is fully released.

    99% sure the only code that showed was P0500, the brake fluid is full and parking brake release

    What codes
    What code(s) are in the ABS module? You need to address any codes related to the rear wheel speed sensors before proceeding with diagnosing the P0500 code.

    That seems to be the case with nearly half the threads these days.
    Question is asked, some answers are given, OP may make a couple replies then never returns.

    This truck is a side project, been super busy at work and haven’t had a chance to figure out the ABS codes yet, I appreciate you guys help. Hope I can get around to it in the next couple days.

    No worries, everyone just figured you weren't coming back since you hadn't responded for a few days.

    That's for the left front speed sensor, that shouldn't cause it to stop reporting vehicle speed to the cluster unless there is another issue.
