Fixed the alternator... now cherry tree w/ abs, sensor and brake...
Hey Guys,
Going to delve into this tomorrow, but I figured I'd ask for some advice quick.
Replaced the alternator in my car tonight due to a crack in it and the bearing making noise.
Everything went ok... At one point in the evening I remember that in the wiki it said to watch out for the right side brake sensor... I recall putting tension on the black wire that attaches to the blue cylinder thing (which I believe to be the abs sensor) by accident.
Put the car back together and took for a ride. Now I have a cherry tree of lights regarding brake stuff. (abs, low tire, brake, dsl traction control)
Going to start tomorrow looking at the right wheel sensor again (it take it its that "blue cylinder").
I'm assuming a wire just pulled out of the sensor itself or did putting pressure on it do it in and now I'm looking at a new sensor?
Thoughts...

This morning on the way over to my parents house to do the work I got a check engine light when starting the car...
Once at my parents I found a problem. Passenger side wheel sensor wire was rubbing against crank pulley and stripped it, but didn't cut it all the way through.
Spliced wire, I'm sure it should work... But no avail... I reset ECU and took battery wire on and off.
Still have all lights - check engine, tpms, abs, brake on...
Going to the dealer soon unless theres something else I should do?
