Question ABS light diagnosis

Ok, lately my ABS light turns on after i move more than 10 feet or so, always being off after key is turned off and then back on. For a while, I could remove the plug from the sensor on the diff, and it'd go away, but now nothing will make it go away, and before i were to replace that sensor, i wanna know if anyone has dealt with this? It never flashes, it just comes on steady after moving 10 feet or so and is on until key is turned off. Any ideas, opinions, suggestions and so on? BTW, i've cleaned the connection for that rear sensor as well.

THANK YOU EVERYONE

ABS light diagnosis

I maybe should've made it clear, it is 4wheel abs, and if it matters, E4OD, and a 93

ABS light diagnosis

The terminals of the sensor aren't what you need to clean - pull it out of the axle and clean any metal filings off the tiny metal tip. Then try to figure out why your axle is chewing itself up.

If that's not it, get a Haynes manual and pull the 4WABS codes - it tells exactly how and has a code list.
