The ABS light is on on my 99 GT. I put a scanner on it, and it come up right front sensor input circuit failure. I put a new sensor on it, and it still doesnt work. Its still throwing the same code. Anyone got any ideas on whats wrong???

Hard to diagnose something like this over a computer, without data or a service manual to go by, but if there is a new sensor in it, then obviously its not the sensor. Easiest thing to do would be to make sure that the sensor and the ABS right on the hub assembly is free of dirt and debris.

It could have something to do with the connector, or its somewhere in the harness, butusually when a code for a sensor comes up, more than often its the sensor, and then the connector.

Also, and I'm not to say you dont know what your doing, but you said the RF sensor, so you replaced the front sensor on the passenger side correct? Just wanted to clarify this.

Yeah I replaced the right one..................I pulled the wheel back off a little while ago, and checked & cleaned the gear thing by the sensor, and I pulled the wiring harness off of the module. The connection was a little bit wet, and I let it dry out for a while, then hooked it back up, connected my Mac scanner and went for a drive. The sensor started to give readings, but after about 20 mins of driving it stopped............So I think I might have a wiring problem.

99% of the time it's a loose connection or a fuse, might what to check the wiring with a multimeter
