Found ABS problem, now the cure?
Got the Kent Moore hooked up tonight, it cycled the pump and said chk LF sensor, upon checking I found the cable cut under the car. OHM tested the sensor, Good. .997. Now can anyone tell me where that cable comes from a wire loom? I dont see any hanging wires. Maybe I can find a car I get get someone to cut one far enough back to wire into my car.

You don't mention the year of car, but as far as wheel sensors go on my 86, the wires plug into the harness about 15"-18" from where the sensor is mounted in the hub. Look for something dangling under the car.
There are no new sources for mine, and yours looks different than what I have but I'd suspect you may be in the same boat. You'll have to find a used one if my suspicions are correct.

AGAIN YEAR MATTERS Create a signature if you've multiple cars or add to your profile or something! I'd think at some point you'd 'get it'!
If you learn to read and use the FSM you shouldn't have issues. Enough information is actually there!

87, the part I need is the male side of the plug that is under the car, the sensor plugs into it. I didn’t see a hanging wire near the plug. There is a wire loom that goes near it. I think I might have to pull that apart and see if there is a wire In there that might be the one. And get the male side from another car that will have enough wire to reconnect it. That sensor is only thing the scanner said to chk. The sensor is good. Just need to plug it in.

I might consider finding the correct wires in the loom and improve the connector type at the connector where they join. There should be way better weather proof connectors available.
Your issue is the 'under-car' connector as seen in this thread. NOT YOUR LOCATION BUT SAME COUPLING/CONNECTOR TYPE.
Perhaps you snag a snapshot from this thread someone will accommodate you that's parting a car. You need to provide them with wire length required.

Your snapshot was somewhat deceptive I think until you explained a bit more thoroughly!

Need some clarification - is it the end that goes into the knuckle or where it plugs into the wiring that's broken? I took it to be on the knuckle end but that photo is unlike anything I've seen.
If it's the wire where it plugs into the wiring harness, I've seen cutoffs on ebay before. If it's where it fits into the knuckle, all I've seen is used replacements and those are hard to find.
I don't know what picture is of, it doesn't look like either ends of the abs sensors on mine and that's only 1 year off yours.

Update
Got a connector from Dino, After reading all the bad things about this guy, I have nothing but good to say about them, Installed it today. Havent driven yet, Hopefully this weekend. Hope to hear that pump cycle as soon as I get off the driveway.
