I can honestly say that I'm VERY nervous.

It will all work out just fine. You may have to drive it for a while, but I'm betting they will clear.

Well I got to the dealership and they were trying to fix my steering problem but we needed to get the ABS cables hooked up for some reason. They thought this might fix the problem.

Well they were trying to get the Titan ABS line out and broke the sensor in half, leaving half of it in the wheel hosuing. Super.

They were gonig to charge me $88/hour to get it out. It was the kids third day on the job and it took him 30 minutes to hook up the other sensor. No thanks.

Talked them into letting me take the truck home and let me do it and I'll bring it back tomorrow for the steering problem. They agree.

I get home, get it jacked up, start taking it apart. Rain. Lots of rain. Finish picking up the tools and the rain stops. So I get the tools back out and it literally takes me 2 taps with a screwdriver and rubber mallet to get the broken sensor out. I had to take the tire, caliper, and rotor off to get the stupid thing.

Hook up the OR ABS sensor, turn on the truck....LIGHTS...GAH! Still have my Slip, VDC, and ABS lights on.

I decide to go for a drive, maybe it will take time to clear. Put Blu in the truck and drive off.

I get 30 feet from the driveway and ALL MY LIGHTS TURN OFF! and I took a picture just to prove it!!

It's done! It's complete! Finished!
(a little blurry but not bad for a camera phone!)

Alright! good to hear :thumbup:

It didn't aid in correcting your steering problem at all though, did it?

Nice! I'm glad to see everything working out. If I had to keep cutting up my truck and shipping it to New York, there would be nothing left :)

I'll do that tonight. I'm also thinking I was installilng everything while it was pouring rain out, so I'm sure rain got some where that it shouldn't be.

Thought about taking it back apart over the weekend and taking a hair dryer to it to dry everything up.

But I'll give that a whirl, Jordan. Thanks!

Don't bother taking it apart, all thost parts get wet from driving in the rain. I agree with Jordan, it may take a while for the compter to deal with all the crappy signals it's been getting.
