Default three light problem (abs)

So ive got the three light issue. Codes pointed to the LR speed sensor so I replaced that. It worked with the key on acc but when I started the car all 3 lights came back on. Now its constant again. Sometimes they go out randomly then ckme back on. Im at a loss. Wireing looked fine.

Do you replace the whole wheel bearing assembly? Our montes are notorious for them going bad thats your wheel Speed sensor. You won't be able to tell by how wiring looks

The harness' are know to be intermittent as well as the wheel speed sponsors (part of the Hubble assembly) so if you replaced the Hudd then could be the harness.

If anything take it to dealership or brake shop that has a machine that will read abs they can tell if harness is bad

I would start by having the ABS system re-scanned for codes. See if it's the same code or different.

I agree jc somthing has to be screwed up. Computers dont just break. Connections look good and fuses are fine. This might just be beyond my ability as a novice mechanic.

Computers can go bad... And harnesses are known for going.... And yes it may look fine doesn't mean it always is.... Take it to dealership or somewhere that reads abs and they will tell you. If it said left speed sensor and you didn't replace the wheel bearing that's the problem. Just cuz it looks fine don't mean it is
