Hello. I have a 2012 Ford Focus Titanium hatchback without Active Park Assist. I have replaced the rear wheel bearings twice in the last 1.5 weeks due to codes popping up on the OBD scan and the ABS, Traction Control and Parking Brake warning lights. I have confirmed they are the correct part. The first set I used TRQ bolt on bearings and the second set I used MOOG. Still getting the lights. I have checked the fuses, replaced the battery (also getting a parasitic draw). I have inspected the harness wires and sensor plug-ins and everything looks as it should. Could this all be caused due to a faulty ABS module suddenly after changing out the bearings? The only other thing that I can think is the orientation of the actual bearings. I am reading many conflicting things stating that orientation doesn't matter, some saying it does and that the plugs should be towards the front of the car and some are saying they should be towards the back of the car. Currently, my drivers side is towards the rear and the passenger side is towards the front. One person said that this is the correct orientation. I am so confused right now that I don't know where to go from here. Can you provide any insight to this or any recommendations that you think might help resolve this issue?
