Default ABS sensor location problem

Ok, I own a 1996 Chevy S-10 Blazer LS, 2 WD, and most all original parts, but ABS light is on and i cant find the front ABS sensors. I looked online, but all its telling me is where the ABS speed sensors are. Dad says that you have to pop the hood to get to them, but i still cant find them. Can anyone help me?

abs speed sensors are abs sensors it should be a metal plate with a wire on it. Duralast/Brake Sensor - ABS (SU12039) | 1996 Chevrolet S10 Blazer 2WD 6 Cylinders W 4.3L SFI | AutoZone.com
there location is behind the front tire take it off and it should be right there

Thanks, I found them. I need to know if i need to try to clean them with brake cleaning fluid before i buy new sensors or if i need to just buy new sensors. While I'm here, would it help to try to clean the oxygen sensors and the mass air flow sensor if they are screaming error?

if the abs sensors are bad there bad i doubt cleaning them will do anything but you can try. i have the same truck but 4x4 and iv never cleaned the 02 sensors its got 210,000 i have cleaned the EGR valve and mass air flow and throttle body with carb cleaner it seems to help with throttle response.

Where would i find the EGR valve? my O2 sensors are reading to lean on the mixture, what do you think i need to do to fix that?
