I faced a similar problem here in the S.F Bay area. I kept getting random warnings that the right front sending unit had failed, but after replacing it twice the dealer said it could well be that the ABS unit had failed. But I was skeptical, so I did some checking around and conducted a quick informal survey with another dealer and a couple of indys. Everyone said this was very rare, and the other dealer offered that they had one in stock in their parts inventory, and it had been sitting there for years. Prompted by this information, I had the technician who was working on my problem dig a little deeper, and he finally found a short in a connection right at the ABS unit. The wire was bundled and wrapped just as it came from the factory (it was not the wire connected directly to the sending unit). It was not subject to any bending or chafing or movement at this location, so it is a bit of a mystery to me how it deteriorated to a shorted condition.
