[V8] ABS Disengaging

[Jason Wilkerson]

I second what scott says.  I will add to the list that you could have a severed sensor wire also.  Keep in mind that it may not be noticeable from the outer sheeth.  I pinched a wire from a strut rebuild once.  Didn't know it until the next day when the exact symptoms you mention happend.  Took me awhile to find because I would check the resistance at the un-plugged connector from the wheel sensor and all looked fine, spin the wheel and the resistance would change as expected.  It was not until I started messing with the wire (IE wiggling it back and forth over the entire length) that I found the short.  I was able to pinpoint the problem area, cut out a 1" section, splice it back together and all is well.
