About 6 months ago I noticed wires hanging from inside my front wheel and the same time the abs light came on.Somehow the wires got ripped out. The dealer said I need a front hub.I had 2 front hubs put on a 1 1/2 years ago because front bearing went.Other than the abs not working is there any else I should be concered with?.I don't have the money to do it right now and I'm sure the bearings are fine?Thanks

Nothing else to worry about.
Bearings is bearing and ABS sensors is ABS sensors. They're in the same hub, but have nothing else to do with each other.
As long as the 'Brake' light isn't on (only the ABS light), then you have a fully-functional conventional brake system.
Keep an eye on the bearings just like you normally would.
See about getting a new hub when you get some $$, even e-bay for lesser cost.
I understand it's not too hard to DIY if you have some basic tools.
Good luck.

PS: Check the other hub, and make sure the wires are properly-routed. If they are, they'll be fine.
If they're loose, they will probably be accidently ripped-out, too. Thereby costing twice as much to replace that hub.
