Default ABS light on ONLY when wheel at full turn

I tried searching this and couldn't find anything sure footed. My 2000 blazer 2 door has an annoying ABS light that is coming on ONLY when the wheel is turned all the way to the left, and at first start up in the morning. I just had brakes replaced and since then have noticed my ABS engaging at low speeds when moving it the first time in the morning, this ABS light.

I know it could be the hub, but the drivers side hub was just replaced.

I'm lost.

did you check the wires, make sure they are scured properly, not stretching at full lock or binding with anything?

Sounds like you have a wire that is either being pinched or stretched (as mentioned) when you turn fully.

Besides the regular checks (resistance, mV-AC output when you spin the wheel per the tech article on the slow speed activation, etc), getting the ABS scanned should give you an indication of which side is at fault.

Well, it's somewhere to start! Today should be a warmer day so I might tear into her. I figured it could be a wire issue. Thanks guys!
