Crap lights on my dash after installing coilovers.

This makes no difference; the ABS sensor reads off teeth that is cast into the hub assembly.

It doesn't matter if you run +100 offset or -100 offset wheels, there is no way the car will know what wheels you have on the car unless you have physically swapped out the hub assembly.

if I took my car to the dealer tomorrow, would they possibly void my warranty or will they simply turn me away?

I'm not sure if this would affect your warranty or not (seems unlikely but it could depend on the dealership) but they'd charge you a lot of money to do something you can do for cheaper.

The warranty is never void, however they can deny to cover repairs under warranty.

Well I guess we'll have to see.... its 175 for a speed sensor but we don't know which one it is. My speedo doesn't work and my fuel gage is acting up. I think it was throwing up a instrument cluster code as well.

Try and swap with a local to see if it fixes your problem. Should only take a few minutes.

Your issues sounds bigger than a simple "sensor"... if I were you, I'd put the stock suspension back on and get the car serviced.

Wish I knew someone willing

I had this problem after installing my ground control coilovers and rear LCAs. It went away after a (very precise) alignment.

If you're still having trouble after an alignment then maybe something is wrong with the speed sensor, but make sure the toe and camber are even before you assume something else is broken.

That is what I meant. They either damaged the sensor or somehow moved them so they cannot "see" the teeth in the hub. The sensor has to be very close to the teeth to sense them.

As others posted, it will not "void" the warranty.

If you say: "I had these guys put coilovers on and they must have broken my speed sensors, will you replace them for free? "
What do you imagine they will say?

Well guess I'll have to see tomorrow... If the dealer doesn't do it then the shop has agreed to pay for the expenses and do the work.

If you had this done at a shop they should be taking care of this without you needing to go to a dealership.

P.S. This has been resolved. Both rear abs sensors were replaced. Car is back to normal ��

Did the dealer do it under warranty, or the guys who broke them?
