You sorry sucker. Everyone I know, including me, is trying to get out of this state between the property taxes and road salt.

Somewhere in that harness is an electrical connector for each wheel sensor. One place to start is by unplugging the connector and measuring the sensors' resistance. Compare both rear readings, but as I recall, you should expect to find around 800 - 900 ohms.
