Default No ABS

Okay in the last 2 days I have spent about $750 to get my car back on the road. The only major issue that remains is the ABS system. The codes come back saying that all circuits are open on all wheels. So then got it traced back to the ABS computer got a new and swaped them out, same problem on new computer. So come to find out the computer is getting the info but not sending it out. Anyone know what to do.

it may be the wiring sensors that lead to the spindle area. because i know the fronts on my vehicle, the wires are chewed through already, and now the abs light is on as well.

the abs sensors at the wheels tend to get the plastic melted to where they mount, due to exposure to heat over a long period of time. Replacing a spindle usually involves breaking and replacing the abs sensor as well. As far as the ABS computer goes, i have no clue, I don't like the early ABS systems anyway :P

The mech I had look at it probally spent about 5hrs running wires trying to figure out what was going on. But just changing the computer out seems like the car does stop better and smoother than before. But I really can't tell the diffrence between hard braking between abs and non abs. So I guess when I pull the gauge cluster out to redo it I will just leave the abs light out.
