3 problems on my 99 Dodge RAM 5.9 V8.

1. Truck is hard to start. Normally happens when heavy moisture is in the air or drastic temperature change. When I get it started it runs fine the rest of the day.

2. ABS Light came on for reasons unknown.

3. Speedometer quit working. Change out the speed transducer with new that I bought from OReilys that was no help.

Speedometer and ABS light came on at the same time

checked the fault codes on computer and only thing it shows is speed transducer failure. Please help

Thank you.

Damp starting problems are often related to ignition wires. When it is starting okay you can mist some water on them to reproduce and help confirm this.

The abs light is on because the speedo isn't working. The BCM thinks there are some wheels moving and some not.

What is the code #?
