ABS light on

Hey guys. I just did ball joints on my 01 Ex. I did the drivers side only as the passanger side was in good shape. (was replaced when i bought the truck)
I am thinking that the one wire with the copper theading inside the kuckle has to do with the ABS?? What could I have done to mess it up? The ABS dont work at all.
Any help would be great!!

if you removed the sensor and reinstalled it then it could be out of adjustment or you get debris on the sensor... you need to find someone with an enhanced scantool wit Ford ABS coverage to read the DTC's... I have one but you are not local unfortunately.... even if you fix the problem you may still need an enhanced scan tool to clear the ABS codes
