RABS light

Yes, another RABS post, I know, I know, I am sorry.

1991 Ford F150, 5.0, E4OD, BW 1356 Tcase.

DISCREPANCY:

RABS light illuminated consistanly with vehicle operating.

TROUBLESHOOTING Thus far:

Shot the wires - good
R2'd the sensor - No joy.

I have heard that if its not wires and not the speed sensor then its something inside the deep dark differential that the sensor...ugh...senses. Truth? Details? Thanks!

The light is trying to tell you something. You can check for the RABS codes by grounding the test connector and counting the flashes. A Haynes manual will tell you how to do it.

Here is some info from Steve83:
