JUST LIKE THE TITLE SAYS, but to elaborate ...
The car had the abs light on since I bought it. I've been having issues with my accelerator response and decided to rule out abs faults. So I found my front , drivers wheel speed sensor connector was destroyed so I hard wired it bypassing the connector. This turned off the abs light instantly, but now the DSC OFF light blinks nonstop from the second i start the car till I turn it off. I've done the reset procedure, but it did nothing. What else should I check ?

Nobody??? This light just blinks NON STOP. It's ALWAYS blinking from the second the car starts up till I turn it off . Someone here has to have some idea.... HELP !!!!

Have you had the codes read? That would be a good place to start. The car should be able to tell you what's up. Are the other 3 wheel speed sensors in good shape?

Just making sure that I understood; you didn’t repair it properly and there’s a problem?

Well, Origionally just had an abs light on. I found where the previous owner had byphaded the ground on the front druvers wheel speed sensor. So I just bypassed the connector all together and the abs light went off, but now dsc off blinks constantly.

Well either whatever that’s supposed to mean wasn’t done properly or there’s another problem somewhere. Nobody can guess what that is. As Loki said, you need a scanner that can read the ABS system codes and go from there.

Actually it was done properly . There was a code for wheel speed sensor A and an abs light was on. All it was was that the connector was damaged so I bypassed the connector . The abs fault cleared and the ABS light went out. Everything elae regarding the wheel speed sensors and wiring looks good. Is there something else wrong ??? Obviously. Do I expect you or anyone else to be able to give me a concrete diagnosis based on what I know so far and the little bit of information I've been able to provide ? Of course not.... I'm just reaching out to see if maybe someone recognizes the symtoms or has had a similar experience after hardwiring a wheel speed sensor. Or maybe someone might have an idea of something else I could check. For example.... I was discussing this with a guy in line at an O'Reilly's yesterday and he mentioned something about the clutch safety switch could possibly cause a DSC fault. He mentioned how he bypassed his clutch safety switch in order to install a remote start. I thought that was an interesting guess and something I could visually inspect that wouldn't take but a minute and wouldn't cost me a dime.
. So that's all Im looking for....just some new ideas or starting points or just some good guesses , as you put it.. I'm grateful for anything anyone comes up.with.

Possibly a bad ground or wiring issue, when my alternator started overcharging it had lots of dsc and trac control lights randomly or consistently staying on like you said. Use a multimeter and make sure when the car is running you aren’t getting too much charge or bad grounds anywhere

Hopefully you’ll keep us updated or more hopefully figure it out and let us know what the issue was for future reference.

I haven't given up...and I will eventually post back with the solution. I'm currently replacing my fuel injectors after having them reman'd . So while the UIM is out of the car, I'm cleaning up grounds and checking the harness for damage. I will say also that my alternator is new and I JUST replaced my battery with a new optima red top. The DSC situation was the same before and after the battery and alternator went in.
