ABS light

I replaced both front hubs on my 1999 Jimmy back in April because of a bad bearing. About 5 months later the ABS light came on. I had the code pulled and it was left front speed sensor. I could get the light to go off by messing with the wires that come out of the hub but the light would come back on again after a short drive. Took the hub back and got a new one but the ABS light was still on. Had it scanned again and it said right speed sensor curcuit open. I can get the light to go out if I turn the steering wheel all the way to the left but it comes back on when I go back to the right. The truck needs a front alignment bad. Could the alignment problem be causing the ABS light or is my right hub also bad? Or do I have an electrical problem. Can't believe I bought two bad hubs. Thanks

Re: ABS light

No, a alignment will not cause a ABS light. If you bought chep bearings, it's very possible that they arer the problem. Take a close look at the connectors for the sensors ad make sure the terminals are ok. Your description of the problem when turning leads me to think of a harness issue with the section from the hub to the connector.
