Default New wheel bearings, no ABS
Just replaced wheel bearings, tires & pads on my 13 FLTRU, test drive showed me no front ABS, rear is OK. There are no lights lit on the dash. I purchased AllBalls bearings for ABS , 25-1691. Any thoughts on this?

1) Did you put the left bearing on the left side and the right bearing on the right side ( 2 bearings per kit)

AND

2) did you put the outside face on the outside where it belongs so the sensor can pick it up

Yupp, ridge in, odd color out, left side of wheel. Sho-nough, haha

Only thing I can think of is bearing is bad, ABS encoder that is... Any way to test this?

You may have damaged the wheel speed sensor.

So, after rereading your post, I'm not sure what you meant by "test drive showed me no front ABS." Then you say "no lights lit on the dash."

Can you elaborate on those two statements? Also, have you checked for codes? If so, what are they?
