Wheel Bearing ABS....What did I do wrong?
I have a 99 Ram 1500 4x4 180k ish miles.
About 5 years ago the ABS and brake light came on and the front wheels were making noise. Turns out the wheel bearings were bad. I replaced the wheel bearings and everything was fine.
Now 5 years and only 50k miles later, I have the exact same symptoms. I ordered a pair of wheel bearings and swapped them out. After everything was put back together I started the truck and the ABS an brake light are still on......When I turn the key on, all the lights turn on the cycle off.....the ABS and brake will turn back on right away. Before I replaced the wheel bearings, the ABS and brake lights would not come on until I drove the truck for a while and if I turned the truck off the lights would stay off.....It was very random as to when the ABS and brake lights would come on.
Seems like my problem is worse now than it was before.....
ANY IDEAS?
THANKS,
David

Hello,
Yes, I have front ABS. I pulled the old hubs off, installed the new hubs and connected the new ABS wires.
I guess it is possible that the wheel bearings were not the problem. I didnt replace the Real Axle Speed Sensor because I was hearing noise from the front end again.
Could the new bearings have bad sensors?
