I have a bad ABS sensor so I pulled the fuse.

 

how do you know it is bad?

 

Looks like I gotta take my dash apart again to replace the ABS light bulb I pulled out. LOL!!!

 

No problem, thats the great thing about this forum is the amount of information that is on here that is shared. It's the only reason my Disco is still running. That method was stupid simple. It only took me about 5 minutes to shoot down a front sensor. Then I swapped the sensor to see if it would follow it and it did. Without that method I never would have been able to do that. Right now I have my fuse pulled because the sensor is about $280 so I need to wait until I save some money and get time to replace it. I need to do it before the snow flies which isn't too far off up here in Alaska. I like ABS in the snow also. I'll put that in the tech section also, its great information for the DIY'er.

 

fo sho> It is stupid easy and will tell you what is wrong without paying a dealer. Cant believe I havent seen this yet..

 

Because my truck came with a repair list from the dealer in NJ in the glove box when I bought it.

 

I finally got my Anti-Lock light to go out too after a couple of years of living with it and squeaking through inspections. First it would come on after a slight bump, then it just came on and wouldn't go off. I used the 5-15 pin blink routine and it told me I had a bad right rear sensor. So I cleaned and tapped them all in and I still had a bad right rear sensor. I checked the rear sensors with an ohm meter, and sure enough the right rear was bad. BTW, it looked like the cable had been stretched due to the way it was installed. Believe it or not, I picked up a used rear sensor pair - they usually come together - for $20 off fleaBay and voila ! no more light. I think it's been flakey for the last 5 years or so. I was afraid this would require a major kick in the wallet. Also, if you do this (rears anyway) it's easier to do them both than just one since the cables go through a single plastic sheath-thing for much of their length. The diagnostic saved my a$$.

 

If I remember correctly, you were running with bad seals in the front and slinging oil out? I would suggest you clean everything, reseat the sensor, an read/clear the codes. It is really easy, and when you are going down a steep, slippery embankment, it is nice to have it. I wouldn't trust a dealer diagnosis...

I may re-write a tech to sticky..

 

Gonna tap my sensors back in and see what that does.

 

You may have to do it a few times. I had to pull the jumper about 13 times to clear all of the codes. There were a ton.
