Take the wheel off and look behind the metal guard/ Brake Rotor
It will be mounted to the hub and a black line which runs towards the front of the car. Plug hides behind the plastic wheel lining  -------------------- Vinyl Decal Stickers for Automotive and Interior.

And for testing the ohm, just pin the tips on the 2 tiny holes on top?

No because the wire leading to the body is broken.
You will need to undo the plastic lining with a 10mm socket and the white plug will be right there. Unplug the white 2 pin plug and connect the multimeter -------------------- Vinyl Decal Stickers for Automotive and Interior.

look it up in the online manual that is linked in the vip section. It explains everything there. Including diagrams.

I am guessing that's the part that's under Brake > Front speed sensor? -------------------- |

im guessing it was the wheel speed sensor wire causing the problem. if its not too badly damaged i could repair the harness.
and yer the traction control and abs are linked and controled by the same ECU becuase it needs to know how fast each wheel is turning to work out if one is locked up and there for skidding or if one is going faster and there for has lost traction either way i have never seen a ball joint fail like that. mind you my car has 165k on it and i think there still the original ones. |

Well, that still need to be fix/replace if you are interested in the job Josh, the only thing is that I doubt I will drive the car to your place ><
