my bad Ididnt realize it goes to the PSOM first
You should check your fuses and check the wiring under the dash by the PSOM to verify its okay visually, and then Im not sure where the VSS wire runs now

Okay so I found the problem I think. This plug is missing it’s snaps (not sure what they’re called) or teeth. So I gave it a snug push and fired up the truck and ABS light is now off.

Connectors and plugs look good

Also. Could some tell me what this wire is for that looks cut? Does this go to what would be a EEC self test? My truck is missing it’s self test plug. Or should it even have one?

The EEC self test plug is under the dash on your truck. It does not have one under the hood. You don't need to add one, what would you connect it to?

wire cut? You mean the recall done on the wiring? read that blue tag

THe EEC-V OBD shape plug is the DLC connector on the passenger side by glove box. EEC self test, at least for me, I activate it on my scan tool to do KOER, KOEO, continuous, and live data (as well as delete codes)

Is the connector you showed on your rear axle? looks weird in the photo maybe just optical trick to me lol. Anyway, you have bent terminal as well as broken tabs, so you should consider a replacement pigtail end
