Default U1418 implausible right wheel distance signal.

Speed sensor went out on me again. Pulled the code and got a U1418. Thing is, I have over 36k and I do pay for the extended lifetime warranty, BUT, and the dealer wants a $100 deductible for it.

So, I can purchase 4 speed sensors for $50 shipped and do it myself, BUT, how do I know which speed sensor it is. It only says right, but, front or rear?

How do I tell which one it is?

Code U1418 doesn't show up in the 2008 service manual.

Scratch that, finally went under the JK and found the speed sensor wire loom had a nice gouge and kink on it. Pulled the wires from the loom, low and behold, a cut wire. Guess it flexed enough to sandwich the wire under the bumpstop and pad.

If you have this code come up, check your wiring and connections before purchasing anything. Thank goodness I didn't put the order in.
