My ABS light is on and my speedometer doesn't work. I disconnected my ABS/Speed sensor head at the wheel and it had trash around the head. While cleaning that off I noticed it had a strong magnetic pull to it. What all can I check before replacing the harness?

Lucky me? I have only 2 ABS sensors One on left front one on right front. I do have 8 brake sensors 2 on each wheel, but only 2 ABS sensors. Remember this is a 1993 400 SEL. It does not have traction control.

samosali, thanks for trying to help me. I said 8 brake sensors when I should have said 8 brake pad wear sensors. I bought the car new in 1993 and my wife still loves it even thou I have bought her 2 new BMW's since. She just likes the car. I guess I'll have to buy some scanner software if we are going to keep it (which we are) Only has 103,000 mi on it.

Thanks, I'll research this.

Is the 300E the same as the 400sel the battery is in the trunk, so the relay is in the same place? My car is 100 miles away right now and I can't check it so I am asking. Also am very curious about rear abs sensors. The only thing connected to my rear hubs are Brake wear sensors and hydraulic brake lines. I bought the car new so nothing has been taken off. Could it be located somewhere else on the rear. The 400sel does not have traction control the 600 and 500 did.

Thanks for the reply and the location of the one that controls the speedometer.
Thanks to all who replied. I will be needing more help as the car ages.
