Default Front ABS Issue After Hub Replacement

Need some help!

I have a 2004 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 5.7 4x4.
My front U joints were in need of replacement and when replacing those I determined I had a bad hub on the passenger side. So i replaced both front hubs.
The new hubs included pre-installed ABS sensors. All I needed to do was plug them in.
Well now my ABS and Brake light are both on. The lights do go out occasionally and when they do, the anti-locks kick in. I can really feel it on the drivers side.
So i took everything apart (again) and checked things out. I cant see any issues.
I also tried an OHM test on both sensors. I read they should give ~1000omh reading.
I didnt get any reading just (OL) overload.

I also used a scan tool to check for codes and no codes were generated.


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Bad sensors or wire somewhere. I had one put on my truck under warranty and the sensor was bad right out of the box. My cruise wouldn't even power up since it reads off of the driver side hub.

If you have the old sensers, put them in the new hubs. Hopefully your problem goes away.
Good Luck
