Default SOLVED: Three amigos

Quick recap of the issues and processes:

- Stormy night on the freeway, front-right wheel hit a big pothole going 60mph - three amigos light up.
- Nanocom says the front-right sensor is bad.
- A new ABS sensor was nearly as much as a new hub, so knowing how crusty the hubs were, I opted to just replace both since they include ABS sensor wires.
- Nanocom still says front-right ABS sensor sucks.
- Replaced ABS sensor wire with a known working one. Three amigos remain.
- To remove the connector near the coolant tank as a possible fail point, I ordered a brand new wire that goes straight back through the firewall and to the SLABS unit. Amigos remain.
- Exhausted and out of things to replace, I bit the bullet and bought a fancy new Fluke multimeter and tested for continuity of the ABS sensor from the SLABS unit. The ABS sensor is functioning.

...so, just because I literally had no idea what else it could be, I jacked the wheel up and tested for play in the NEW front wheel hub. Sure enough, it rocks back and forth quite a bit. A new hub was shipped DOA. Swapped a new hub on, cleared the ABS codes with the Nanocom, and ta-da. All fixed and no three amigos after driving it for 25 miles.

Feels good to get this done.
