My ABS wheel speed sensor and wire are melted. With the knowledge that I would replace the rotor, the inner and outer bearings, the seal, the caliper, pads, rotor, flexible brake line and hardware, and bleed all four wheels, will my brake system work, albeit without ABS, if I do not purchase the ABS wheel speed sensor, wire and connector?
