Thanks guys.

My lights don't always go on until I start driving so I'm not sure that would work.

I was sniffing around on another site (actually the oldmobile site that reccomended this site to me) and some said you could use an ohm meter to test. Here's what I found.

First I had to buy a multi meter. They were on sale last weekend for $20.

Jacked up the front of the car and took the ABS connector appart at the hub. Tested the sensor with the ohm meter and got reading of a little over 1000. That's consistent with the other guys good reading. He said he tested a new hub on the bench.

The other side gave a reading of 0. That indicates a bad sensor in the wheel hub. I still have to to repalce the entire hub but now I know were to start.

By the way, I tried to test the rears but they are very difficult to get to with the reader and since I found a bad one up front, I'll replace that and see what happens.
