Default ABS code C1175 broken/short/grounded sensor wire. Who fixed it?

Usually sensor replacement is needed but this time it seems like wires between sensor on ABS module are problem.
I you dealt with this code (this is for left rear, other sensors have different code), where did you find broken wire/ground??? If I don't find exact place instead of repairing the wire I will have to attach long jumper wire.

car5car, if I am remembering things correctly, there is a short harness that goes between the wheel and a plug in the rear door opening (under the sill plate). if you are going to have an issue, it will be in that 4 foot (?) run of wire.

thanks for your responses!
I forgot to mention:
there was brand new sensor there and I still replaced it with another sensor from junk yard(no success). I am pretty sure the problem is in wire from ABS module to connector under rear seat.

car5car, to confirm this problem, you will probably need to disconnect the wiring at both ends and then get yourself a tool called a "tone tester". What this does, is you connect it to the wiring with the tone supplier and it puts a signal on the wire. You then take the receiver and you run it along the wire. As long as the tone is seen on the wire, the receiver puts out an audible tone. If there is a break in the wire, the signal on the wire gets blocked. The receiver will no longer see the signal and therefore doesn't put out an audible tone. They can be bought on e-bay for like $30 or so. This way, you can verify that the wiring is bad and it will pinpoint where the problem lies. This may allow you to repair the wiring vice having to rip out the whole harness.

If you need more info, let me know or if you look on Youtube, I am sure there are videos there that will show you what is going on.
