Angry ABS light

why cant i get my ABS light out. 2008 f150 4wd I have replaced all sensors
and checked all fuses, snow and ice today and they are definitely not working.
came on shortly after installing new front pads but they are working fine . I have
pulled them apart three times over last 6 weeks and can find nothing wrong.
Any ideas out there? Thanks

The wiring maybe fine, but the ABS module could be bad, or the tone ring inside the wheel hub bearing could be bad. If you clear the codes, and the light goes out, but comes back on as soon as you start driving, then it it probably the wheel bearing hub, since the tone wheel is in it. But if the code does not clear, meaning hard fault, most likely the electrical circuit. Also, most ABS sensors create their own voltage, so if you disconnect the sensor, and put your volt meter on it, spin that one wheel you should see some voltage, if not, then there is a fault with the sensor, or tone wheel.
