It’s a 2005 Dodge 2500 two wheel drive. I replaced the wheel hub/ bearing assembly & now the brake & ABS lights are on. Brake function is normal. I checked for turn clearance on the cable before putting the wheel back on so I know that it’s not crimped or otherwise compromised. Just to cover all bases I ran an OBD scan, no codes. The terminal connector snapped in place & locked properly.
Anyone have any ideas on what I missed? Before I try using the original cable I was hoping for some wisdom from the assembled masses here!
Thanks.

My sister had this problem with her 05 2500 4x4 that she had a friend of mines shop do wheel bearings on. Turns out after the 2nd or 3rd wheel bearing change that Advance Auto Parts had a bad batch of them. They changed to some hubs from NAPA or O'rielly and the problem went away.

This was a Moog assembly that came from RockAuto. Anything’s possible, but I’ve not had a problem with Moog yet. BTW, it was made in Taiwan, for those keeping score😄. (Hey, better than China!)

I thought it odd that no codes were thrown. I’ve got a different scanner that I’ll try.

A little update. I disassembled to the point that I had access to the cable, took it loose & planned on putting the old one back on to see if anything changed but the old sensor wouldn’t fit into the new hub, which I didn’t expect. I didn’t try to force it, no sense making a bad situation worse. So I compared the two terminals & it appeared that the prongs on the new one were smaller than the originals. But with these antique eyes I can’t be certain & I have no way of measuring them. But I carefully pushed the new prongs down just a bit to hopefully have a better chance of making contact. So....... I then started the truck to see if by some miracle the lights were out. But no, there they were, angrily shining their beady little bulbs at me, defiantly daring me to have another go at them. Well, I’m old, & as long as the brakes are working, I don’t much give a crap about the lights, I figured I could tackle them another day, maybe get some helpful hints that would lead me down the glowing path to redemption.
So I buttoned everything back together & headed out on my merry way, visions of sugar plums dancing in my head. Then, glancing down at the dash, sufferin’ succotash! The lights were off! A Christmas miracle!
Will they stay off? Time will tell, but at least for the moment I’m happy!
