I just want to say thank you for this. I got to the point where I popped the red lock off the plug and was getting frustrated that the wire and plug weren’t coming about. You are a life savior, sir.

[PTSix-egzj]

Thank you that red tab on the connector was driving me nuts...everyone else skips over it or say "remove plug". You are kind enough to explain HOW. Thank you very much.

[o.p.]

You put a lot of time and energy into this video and it's VERY HELPFUL. Great details, especially on that plug! I'll be replacing the sensor this weekend. Thank you Dennis!!! -Preston

THANK YOU for showing how to open the clip!
I had everything done except the clip!
Frustrated and getting dark!
BRAVO!!!
Thank You!
Thank You!

Thank you for the video. I wanted to see how to loosen the red clip before I broke it.

Great job. Will the ABS light on the dash reset or do I need a high $$$ code reader?

[octaviogomez]

I'm curious as to why you had to change out the speed sensor? Did you get a "Service Advancetrac light on"?

I feel way more confident in completing this job. I thought I would have to bleed the brakes and remove hub etc. Very informative. Do you have to torque it back down? or is a ¼turn after tightening goodd

Thank you❤

[johnreinburg]

Thank you for sharing Dennis! Hopefully, I will not have to do this in the near future.

Thanks for the video. Is this the same on a 2019 F-150?

[MaynardKrebs-rpov]

I’m having a problem disconnecting the top of the old sensor. The lock is red, is the catch the white piece or the little red dot? Mine is the passenger side abs sensor

[sopoelectrician]

What were the symptoms that led you to replacing the sensor?

[fZionists]

7:40 Is it me, or is there a crack in that upper controlling arm?

Thank you for the exceptionally well made and helpful video. Very generous.

[dalemcintosh-xvye]

Thank you this was very helpful! Great video

How do you determine which sensor is bad to begin with? BTW I have a 2012 F150 4 wheel drive.

[nextrayallen]

After replacing the sensor do you have to clear the code with Forscan?

[rigomorales]

I got the same error code. How do I known what wheel sensor to replace ?

[MaynardKrebs-rpov]

My R side sensor needs to be replaced, where does the top of the line attach? I need to know everything before I start.
Like everybody is saying excellent job, every bit of it. I am sick of these jack offs that want their 15 seconds of fame. I don’t want to know about their dog, family or work. Don’t want them to race though it. Hate when they have to back track or go out of order. You nailed it be very proud. ❤it

Awesome video got mine replaced since the break caliper bolts fell out and the caliper slashed the sensor wire got it replaced after watching this video but the ABS light is still on. Did you have the same issue?

[ManuelGonzalez-ulyi]

I changed mine out but it says on the code reader it’s the wrong speed sensor and the ABS light is still on (positive it’s not the wrong sensor) have you ran into this issue?
