Default Dreaded ABS issue xmas dash lights

abs/vsc all lit up, alarm goes off intermittently.
replaced front left abs sensor
still issues.

Gas cap is tight, ABS fuse was reportedly blown by mechanic whom i took the LX470 2002 to fix it. Also he mentioned that he could not get fluid to pump out from the rear brakes when he was bleeding them, front worked fine.

No Thump thump thump from either side or end. So I do not think it's the wheel bearings causing the issue. However my father did report the wheels locking up at one point, never happened again though.

brake pressure was fine last time I drove it. Replaced the ABS motor unit and that did nothing, next going with the whole damned contraption. we'll see what happens.

Ideas?

Have you tried the jumper wire to get the ABS light to flash the diagnostic code? See attached instructions.
