    Picture... yea there’s not enough wire to splice back. Was mainly wondering if this has happened and could be the cause for all the dash warnings

    Yes, this can cause a whole bunch of lights to come on as it disables lots of systems to not have an ABS sensor on one wheel.

    definitely will cause the warnings. That’s a critical wire there. Personally I would disconnect the battery and get a short piece of wire and solder it all together. Get some heat shrink tubing and slide it over the wire first. Should be an easy fix.
