appreciate it. Going to give it a try. I’m assuming you mean that connector right next to the abs module?

How did they determine that the wiring is all ok? I had similar issues with mine (light wasn't constant though, it would come on when going over bumps or ditches) and I thought it was the sensor too, but after pulling the wiring out of the sleeve I found a spot where it was starting to break. It was the spot about a foot from the sensor where they put a tight loop into it, the wiring was all brittle and was making an intermittent connection.

they said they followed it from the sensor up, and everything looked good. I’ll make sure to ask about it when i pick it up. Haven’t heard anything from them today though so we’ll see. Also going to do what was suggested about the deoxit on the connectors
