    OME lift w/ 1" spacer. Built Right UCA's. Tinted all the way around. De-badged. Trimming up front
    Ok so I just got done puting the top plate spacer on my OME lift. I was attempting to put the UCA's on, I bent, cut, and pryed the bolt to go through the Stock UCA. Well I F'd up the Uni-ball in the process of trying to beat the bole through the hole....Ya so back to the story. I have 2 new indicator lights on. The ABS light and I think the Traction conrol light. I called the dealer and they suck. I think when i was bending the inner fender I might have crimped the wires close. I know I didnt cut them or beat them but One bend I remember I might have pinched the wire shut. Front Right wheel well. If thats not it then any help on what is and what should I do to get those lights off? Its been a shit day. But I at least got the rest of my trimming done and the spacer is in.

    i would say, look at the wires really close and if they are broken just cut and splice a new section in. i would probably solder the wires together and shrink tube then tape to seal. you can also use the crimp type butt splices but make sure you use the correct size for the wire and you will still have to tape them up really good to seal them.
    I know it sucks but its really not that big of a deal. maybe wait till tomorrow when you can tackle it with a clear head.
    also make sure the little wire connector is tight that connects to the knuckle. it may have come loose with all the bending and flexing

    TC Light is on because the system gets disabled for faults in the ABS system. Sounds like you broke your ABS sensor or damaged the wiring to it.

    You damaged or unplugged the front wheel speed sensor. Fix it and your problem will be solved.
