Thank You,
I did unbolt all 4 of the connectors from the hub and unplugged both sensors and cleaned and blew air into the plugs and connectors. All of them looked totally fine. The pad sensor pulled the wires from the left rear plug when the hub carrier broke, but I replaced it with the same part number. And that's great that the Duramatic told you which one wasn't reading. Hopefully when my loaner arrives it will tell me that so it will narrow it down to which wheel.

I'll search for the connector rebuild kit and also look for what the speed sensor resistance is supposed to be.

With that said, given that you have both and the pad sensors are new you very well could have a break in the wire/connector. Been 4 years since I dealt with similar issue and I dont have a car on a lift right now to get a picture, but the 2 sensors go into a single harness at each wheel. These can get chaffed/cut/rubbed. Very common cause porsche makes a repair kit for it. When I ran into this my durametric did say which wheel sensor it wasn't reading.

Again, I dont care about brake pad sensor on my cars. I dont even use them. I just cut the end off, connect the 2 wires and it thinks the sensor is there. All it is is a contact sensor so it doesn't really matter.

I would get it in the air, go to each wheel, pull the wheel sensor and ohm it out. FSM should have the specs or it's somewhere on the interwebs.
