Default Flashing Break Light

So I just finish replacing the right rear bearing and bushings. Got everything put back together and on first start-up before test drive I notice the ABS light is on. Also the Break light(dash light) is blinking but if I lift the E-break handle it stops flashing and stays on. Any ideas?

Thanks

How did you deal with the ABS sensor when you did that job? Did you leave it in the hub carrier and just unplug it inside the body or did you try to take it out of the hub carrier?

I was going to pull it out of the hub, but when I grabbed it and it didn't move at all I decided to just disconnect it from under the seat. I didn't want to risk damaging it.

That's what I always do. I ask because it sure seems to me that something happened with that ABS sensor. Those are the symptoms you'd get if you left a sensor unplugged. Those are also the symptoms you get if the ABS module goes bad, but that would have nothing to do with your wheel bearing job.
