Default Replaced Hubs on 2000 Buick now ABS is on constantly

My ABS light would come on when going through a puddle or when it was wet out. Shop told me I need to replace hubs as the sensor is part of it. So I bought new hubs and my mechanic dad changed both. Now when I go to drive home as soon as I started moving and I pressed on the brakes the ABS instantly kicked in and then the light came on and brakes as usual. It Is on constantly now What might this be? TIA

We have no idea what your mechanic did or didn't do right. We suggest you take it back to him.

As I specified in my post it was my dad who replaced them and he'* been a mechanic for over 30 years. Everything went smooth and put together as it should. Could it possibly be a pinched wire or maybe just a faulty hub?

Then its suggested that someone put a computer on it that can read ABS codes.

That should have been your first step....

The shop that told you it was hubs, did they do any tests?
