I know you said you didn't mess with the wires, but i could almost guarantee that's your problem. Did you triple check and make sure everything is secure and connected?

yes most definitely, that's how basic traction control systems work, they utilize the abs to detect slip.

You had to disconnect the wire from the strut to get it off the car, but if you didn't remove it from the hub more than likely you stretched it and damaged it. Did you possibly hang it with the strut when pulling it out?

Triple posts with little time passed make you look desperate. Let people reply to your posts before posting again, especially in the middle of the night.

There is an button that lets you change your own posts. Use it.

3 consecutive posts under an hour in the same thread.

haha.

who did the install?

prepare to spend some money getting the lines fixed.

as others have said, did you disconnect the abs lines?
