ABS light on, not rear speed sensor, HELP!
Just about every other time I start my Explorer up the ABS light comes on and stays on until I turn the engine off and then restart. I have tried changing the rear speed sensor (on the differential) and that didn't affect it. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it? (Yes, I 'm trying to avoid taking it in to the shop!)

Well I did some poking around and what you need to pull the ABS codes is an OBD-2 scanner that is capable of also pulling Ford ABS codes.
If you have an Autozone nearby they will pull codes for free. But ask them if their scanner is able to pull the Ford ABS codes.
I sure hope that ABS remains an option that I can just say NO to when I buy my next truck.

where exactly is the rear sensor located?
I got a code that says the rear wheel speed sensor is bad and I see that several of you on this thread have replaced it. Would someone walk me thru the steps to 1) get to it and 2) replace it? I am now trying to go at it from the rear by removing the spare tire and the plastic moldings that surround the spare tire. Am I on the right track? Can you post some pics?

It's easy to do, but the sensor is up where it's hard to access. You'll have to go by 'feel' to loosen and tighten the hold down bolt, but it's about a 15 minute job.
