Default puma abs going nuts for no reason, can anyone help me

the front right abs sensor failed on my puma so ive replaced it and now the car is showing no faults, but when im driving the traction control pump goes mental then the abs when i hit the brakes and even at low speeds round the doors.
ive tried 2 sensors so its not a faulty one so does anyone know what could be wrong, i was just gonna leave it unplugged but its due a mot soon so im a little worried it will fail because of it
