New to the forum, and new to my Ranger. I knew it had an ABS light when I bought it but wasn’t extremely concerned since the brakes work fine for normal braking. Doing some other work yesterday I saw what I assume is the reason for my ABS issue:
So my question is this. Would there be any problem with stripping back the insulation and soldering the wires rather than replacing the sensor and cable? The instructions seem to indicate that you have to remove to rotor to gain access and replace the sensor—I’d just as soon put that off until I’m replacing the rotors anyway. It seems pretty straightforward wiring, but I don’t know much about how the ABS stuff does it’s job.
