The lights are on from start up now. They used to pop up randomly and sometimes not at all. I also added gear grease to both front.

Sounds like a bad sensor. Did you test it first by just plugging it in and starting the car to verify no lights came on? Try that with the old one to test.

That's the exact symptoms I had with a bad used sensor I bought from ebay. Hence, why my number one instruction was to plug the new one in first and test it before actually doing all the work to find out it's bad. Been there done that.

Well pulled the old front abs sensors from the trash before they were gone for ever and reinstalled them but also bypassed the connectors in the engine bay but no change. The three lights are on at start up still.

The three lights would come on either right away, during my drive or not at all with a ding sound. I replaced both front abs sensors and now im back to the original sensors.

What happens when the 3 amigos comes on 250+ times? Do they just show up at start up?
