I am trying to find the wheel speed sensors. MY ABS light is on and I want to clean the sensors and see if that fixes anything before I go and spend money at a stealer...
Anyone know how or where to find them?

Doesn't all 4 have sensors? or at least the front 2 and 1 for the back?

There is one wheel speed sensor for each wheel. The fronts are mounted on the back of the spindles, and I believe the rears are mounted on the rear trailing arms.
There are some pictures of the sensors in the Bentley manual.

Really, I had always heard the speed sensor was plugged into the rear differential. Sorry about the mis-information. :

Actually, there is a sensor on the differential. It sends a signal to your speedometer.

the "speed sensor" is located in the diff. The ABS sensors are located on the front hubs and real axles.
I think what he is looking to do is clean the ABS sensors, not the speedo.
Thanks guys, that's what I am looking for.
