Ok so i think there is something wrong with my anti lock brake sensor in the wheel my anti lock starts kicking in when I'm slowing down to around 3 mph or even when im stopped sitting there sometimes....any one have any ideas whats going on??? if its the sensor i may just cut the damn wire. seems to only do in on the drivers side.

Is it 4 wheel ABS, or only RABS? Is the abs light on in your instrument cluster? The easiet thing to do is clean the abs sensors with brake clean and wipe them off as they tend to get covered with shavings, dust, etc. preventing the sensor from making a good signal.

I've also seen the tone rings develop cracks that will cause the abs to kick in all the time. Rather than cutting wires you could simple pull the ABS fuse. You will just have normal power brakes then.

I think most malfunctions of the anti-lock brake system and traction control system, if equipped, will cause the yellow ABS warning indicator to be illuminated.

Yes, most malfunctions of the actual system itself (bad sensor, etc), but in the instance where the sensor is in working condition but not making a good reading will not cause the light to illuminate as the system is actually working but thinks the tire is locking up due to that false reading...
