Default ABS INOP blues

For the past week I've been dealing with my abs inop light. I"ve thus far replaced the abs sensor, and both front wheel speed sensors (all brand new), not to mention pads and rotors. I've even went as far as having my brakes nad abs pump re-bled. Damn light still comes on and when I had it scanned it's showing the right front wheel speed sensor. I had it replaced twice then re-cleared the code for it to pop back on with the same reading. My car is 2000 Camaro LS1. Now here's the creepy part, My brakes feel fair to decent but at times a bit spongy. If I hit the brakes hard the left rear wheel locks up and the car obviously skids to the right. I took it to two different brake specialist and no luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated fella's, I can't tell you how costly and frustrating this is.

Thanks,

Mario

Wow, I feel for you, that sounds like a pain. Is the wiring to the sensor ok as in it's not cut? Also, does the pcm control the abs or is it a seperate unit? Might be worth peaking at...

Hey thanks alot Assman, thats exactly what I was thinking. I'm going to replace the wire tomorrow regardless of condition. I'm just wondering about the left rear wheel locking up. I can feel the front abs working but it's something up with the rear idk? Thanks for ur help tho I'll look into it tomorrow.
