Default ABS Not working

Had a indy change out the rear bearings on my '08 Ultra.
Now ABS is not working.

Question?
The two bearings on the hub are different.
If he put them in on the wrong sides,
1) Would the wheel still go on OK?
2) Would that make the ABS inoperatable?

Or do I look else where for my problem?

Thanks

Hopefully he knew it had ABS and required the ABS bearings.

Bearings are different colors. Did he know the bike had ABS. Take it back. Is ABS blinking even after you get rolling?
