mines been doing this since i got it, my front drivers side abs sensor is bad. When the lights are off the abs kicks in at 10 miles an hour for a second, when the lights are on and blinking it disables the abs system and stops normal

i am having the same exact problem, any way to quickly diagnose which sensor is bad. the car also pulls to the right whenever i break also.

any ideas how i can fix this and get the abs to work properly again caz iv locked up my tires twice already on the parkway caz ppl don’t know how do drive and feel the need to merge directly into the middle lane from the on ramp doing 30mph

sry if thread jacking

Glad to see that there is an oem alternative for this part.
RockAuto has the Standard Motor Parts replacements sensors.
It is $150.00 for the Left Rear #ALS781 sensor I need for my 94 LS.
