The never ending ABS light thread

Literally non stop. I have tries to sort this out and have not had much success.

What I have done.
Replaced VSS
Cleaned all dash foil connections
Cleaned all pin connections at the module and controller
I have tried grounding the blackorange wire to read codes, nothing happened. I will read up on this

So this is where I am at. The abs light is always on not brightly but on none the less.

What I haven't done
Bled the abs module. I am not sure how to do this solo.

Brake and abs or just abs?
dim leads me to believe a short to ground vs abs fault.

The time that I had an ABS light on, there was a blown fuse in the in cabin fuse panel. It doesn't make sense to me, but replacing the blown fuse shut the light off.

Just the ABS light. It comes on and stays on. I am guessing its something with the harness. I need to find a wiring diagram for it no that the 96 bronco shop manual link is dead.

Fuse 15 I believe. I will confirm that it is good.

I don't remember which fuse it was. It was probably #15, but #13 says ABS memory, but if the hazards/turn lights work it won't be #13. I was thinking it was a low amperage fuse, but #15 calls for a 20 amp, and #13 calls for a 15 amp. It had to have been one or the other, as these 2 are the only ones that mention the ASB.

Well dang it. Looks like I did a poor job of checking the fuses.

20 amp fuse installed and all appears to be working as it should.
