Speed Sensor replacement
I replaced my front driver side wheel speed sensor last night on my 08 wrangler . Not hard, but time consuming. However, when I had the sensor out, I could see a lot of junk inside the hub bearing assembly. Spinning the hub, some of it looked like a toothed ring, but there there was areas with nothing there and other spots where it completely covered the opening for the sensor. I lined up the sensor hole with an opening and reassembled the wheel, however my lights are still on.
Any thoughts on what is inside the hub? I can't seem to find a diagram anywhere of what the inside the hub should look like. The bearing felt OK when I mounted the wheel.
Thanks!

I am yet to resolve this problem.
I changed the front and rear left side sensors to no resolve. In the process I even broke the plug on the wiring harness in the rear so that's gonna set me back $50 for just the part.
Should I just take it to the dealer and bite the bullet? I'm tempted to replace the entire ABS module but for all I know it's something small and I'm wasting my time and money.
