Default ABS light on

Hello, I have an 02 2500 2wd with 4 wheel abs. The other day i replaced my crank sensor and after driving about 25 miles my abs and brake light on the dash came on. I was driving home so I did a bit of a brake test and the ABS does kick on. I got home and noticed both third brake light bulbs were burned out, so i replaced them with the LED cargo light bulbs i have, and the abs and brake light on the dash is still on. Also the brake fluid level is still good. Does anyone know where else to look?

With 4WAL, you'll need to have a scanner that can read ABS systems, and see what it's whining about.

After scanning the front left sensor was not communicating, found that by the control arm it was slightly frayed. Any recommendations on brands to use?

Is the sensor part of the hub/bearing unit? Or is it a separate piece??
