Default abs and wrench light

So I have an 04 f150 with 4.6 and the last couple of days my abs light comes on then the wrench light come's on.. I had the rear abs sensor replaced the transmission speed sensor replaced and MAF,TPS replaced a month ago. I was thinking it was the front ABS sensor's going out.

Hopefully you guy's can help me out

I got lucky once and pulled off a front speed sensor and found that it had a big build up of crud on the end of it. Cleaned it up and it worked again. Probably unlikely, but it's free to try. I don't know of a good way to check those either.

Would any good solvent work for something like that or would you have to use electronics / MAF cleaner?

I think anything would be fine. It's basically just a magnet and it's not delicate.

Brake dust and built up road grime can cause issues with the ABS brake sensors at each wheel. As already suggested, try cleaning them first.
