In this clip, we're going to talk about the proper way to remove and replace a rear wheel anti-lock brake sensor on a late model Ford Explorer. In this step, we're going to talk about the proper way to locate your rear wheel anti-lock brake sensor and disconnect the wiring from the sensor itself. What you're looking for is the wiring Canute.

What you're going to do is follow it around until you find the center. The center on this one is located on the front of the axle right here. I?ve released the retaining clips already; I'm going to unplug it for you. Right there. That is the proper way to locate your anti-lock brake sensor and remove the electrical connection in order to perform diagnosis.
