abs help

**raiderfan** · 11-03-2009, 04:19 PM

Anybody have a schematic of the back of the wheel hub where the abs line goes? I think I may have broken the wire, (as my abs light is on, and on the right front,the plastic clips that hold the wires in place are broken) but cannot see where it hopefully plugs into the caliper or wherever it may go...... thanks!

Umm i think there are only 2 wires in there...take it apart and shoot for continuity. Or better yet, you can go to an autoparts store and have them scan your truck and it will tell you which one is bad. If the sensor is bad, you will probably have to change the hub unless you can work some magic with the sensor.

hmmmm, I was really hoping to just change out a wire harness, as I got the wires with tire chains, it might happen again........might not be that easy

Look behind the rotor and you'll see where the ABS sensor goes into the wheel hub. Undo the bolt and carefully pry out the sensor and clean the area around the hole then put the sensor back in.

thanks, I went out afer i posted, I took off my wheel, brakes and disk, found the sensor, and removed it, i do think the disk has to come off, as the back plate is in the way, thanks for the help!

Remove the backing plate. Spray it with lots of wd 40 or PB blaster.

Doesn't plug into the hub assembly. If you break the wires, the sensor assembly is no good unless you can somehow reattach them, which is unlikely if the break is close to the hub.
