Had them replace it and charged me $200 for the job, now I'm getting the same lights coming on again what gives. were are these sensors located at? Really dont want to pay another dime to have it fixed...

Get the code read at an auto parts store. If its the left rear again, make the dealership fix it. If not, buy the part and fix it. There are some threads in here end other sites that show how to fix them. The rears appear to be easy and the fronts s little more time intensive.

I had the ESC malfunction light come on, it has gone on and off many times. I finally got it in to the dealer last week and the tech said it was a brake switch and it was replaced. As I was driving home the light came back on, I returned to the dealer and talked to the tech who put it back on the scanner. He said it indicated the same problem, I am taking it back tomorrow so he can check all the wiring that may be the problem. Today when I was coming home from the grocery store I tried the cruise control and it would not function so I am wondering if I have the same problem as talked about here but my Jeep is totally stock and has barely 500 miles on it.. Sure hope that the tech can find out what the heck is up..

When I do that I get code U 1418 which is "implausible right wheel distance signal". Doesn't specify front or rear. The code off of the reader at the auto parts store was C102B which according to the web sources is "right rear wheel speed sensor".

Speed Senor Issues
I have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler, 4 door.
Back in Feb of 2012, my brakes were acting up and I saw the xmas tree of lights on my dash. A check of this forum showed it could be the speed sensor. I had those replaced at a local muffler shop, the owner is a Jeep guy. And the problem went away.
Here is is July of 2012, and I am getting the same lights. I went to the local auto store, they checked it and it said the left front speed sensor was bad. I got a new cable from the dealer, $22 and went back to replace it myself this time. Everything went perfect, started up the car drove about 50 feet and the lights went away!!! WOO-HOO!!!
About 30 minutes later, the lights are back on, the driving is difficult again.
Uhhh.........help?

MY mechanic told me that my right wheel bearing was starting to go bad. The code today was abs right front. The new bearing comes with the bearing and sensor. I am going to give that a shot as soon as I get a chance.

Speed Sensor Update
Well, still have issues with the speed sensor. After driving around for at least 75 miles, I still had the lights on. I went to the auto store, they ran the diagnostics and it came back with the same exact problem. The left front speed sensor was bad.
I went and picked up another speed sensor at the dealer and I'm going to try that and see if that will fix it. If it doesn't then I have no idea what is going on.
