Ok, I am going to bring it to City Tire, they said they don't know if their scanner will give which sensor is out or not, but better than guessing and throwing parts at it.
thanks for the info John.

I pulled fuse 35 too to stop the abs pump from activating until my appointment with the mechanic. At least I can drive that way ha ha.

The best part of the ABS being down is it deactivates the AWD so you can chirp the tires. 
But yeah, I've had to replace my rear wheel bearings twice. I don't know why they fail so easily, it's frustrating.

Because we have a son with autism, and a blog named as such about travelling with a person on the spectrum. Much more will be posted this year!

For S&G's I re loaded Appcar DiagFCA onto my laptop and went out in the Jeep. Reset the tire size to the correct size They were way to small before in the computer, and upped the voltage to the headlights, and made my low beam lights my DRL instead of the high beams. That app is awesome. I recommend it for anyone with a Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler product

We just got our Patriot back from the mechanic. 3200 dollars later. Oil change, trans fluid change (finally), 3 wheel bearings, two more front control arms/balljoints, new brake pads, and more. It feels brand new as it should. Let see how long that lasts. Hopefully we get more than a year of light driving out of this round of parts.
As for the Appcar settings changes. They all worked great. The jeep feels much more relaxed with its transmission shifts, and overall demeanor. The headlight output is much improved too. Now, to get some new headlight bulbs. I would love LED but I get the intermittent black out using them. I have no idea how to stop that.

I have tried the decoders sold at action truck caps here locally and they never helped.

Ok, I might give those a try and see what happens. If they were defective both lights would not have flashed. I don't think.

Got to love it. DW drove the jeep to work, came out after work and NOTHING. New alternator and battery later. GD Jeeps.
