Default Hub replacement

So I was told by a pretty reputable indy mech that my three amigos problem was the right front hub, atleast that's what the codes said. So I replaced the hub and went to another mech in north Carolina and he cleared the codes but the lights remained. So he did it again and now i have codes that say there is intermittent signal, no signal from the speed sensor ect. Did I install a bad hub? Is there a fuse I need to pull to reset the system? Any ideas?

Codes from the same hub? Have you inspected the rest of the wiring back to the ABS ECU?

Well I only messed with the speed sensor connection. Perhaps I put it in backwards?

There’s only one way to plug those sensors in

ABS sensor is 14.95, I’d start there vs an entire hub assembly.

So I read online that most people just splice the sensor straight into the SLABS unit. Could it be possible that the connection from the new wire into the original wire is bad? Should I just cut off the connections and splice the wires under the hood? RAVE has no instructions

No. They are a bugger to splice. Try a new sensor. I spliced my old connector back in.

test the continuity from the connector to the ABS plug. Relevant info is in the Rave.

Turns out I only have the workshop manual. Do you have a good link for the entire RAVE program?

I've spliced at the old OEM connections at each wheel and it's not bad at all. Connecting the longer ABS wires to the SLABS = PITA and I find those long sensors useless honestly. It's just a 2 wire sensor. Nothing fancy, and 3M heatshrink type butt connectors, and some heatshrink over that = works flawless.
