I'll answer your second question first: Check the rear wheel speed sensor
(located on the differential housing on Gen III's), though it might be
different for a 96. Someone who has an FSM should be able to confirm. In
any case there should be an ABS sensor of some kind back there.

First question: There should also be a front wheel speed sensor if you have
front ABS. On Gen III's they're located on the front hubs.

Subject: DML: ABS - all or just rears, how do I tell?

I have a friend with a 1996 Dodge Dakota Sport. He needs to change his
brakes, and there are apparently two different types of front discs
available, one for trucks with front ABS, and one for trucks without. How do
I tell whether this truck has ABS on the fronts?

Second question, the same truck also has an issue with the ABS and E-brake
lights both coming on and staying on for no apparent reason. Any known
problems with this year/model that would help us diagnose this?

Thanks for any suggestions.
