I ripped apart a good part of my rear trim to get at the connector for the left wheel speed sensor. Sure enough the sensor wasn't putting out much voltage (<0.1V when a minimum of 0.25V is required).
So I took off the rear caliper and rotor to clean the sensor. It was very dirty but the cleaning didn't help much, the output increased to roughly 0.2V. Boo.
Finally I checked the resistance of the sensor (should have done that before removing the caliper) and it was also way too low (440 Ohms when it's supposed to be between 1.3-1.7K Ohms). Looks like I need a new sensor

Bwahahaha! I like my protege for what it is, the miata is still more fun to drive, but sometimes you need a back seat.

Sooo if you pull the ABS fuse the parking brake light still stays on... There must be something I can unplug to get rid of that damn light. The yellow ABS light I can deal with, the parking brake light, not so much (pissed).
Also I'm proud to say that I found rust INSIDE the car underneath the rear trim. I don't ever see myself getting another Mazda unless I have a garage for it, these rust issues are ridiculous.

Sweet. I have delusions of building a locost or similar one day.
