ABS light on
Hello I have a 1993 Ford F-250 with a 7.3 non-turbo and a 5 speed manual trasmission. I just replaced my instrument cluster with a instrument cluster out of my 1993 f-250 with a turbo and a 5 speed manual transmission. And now my ABS light is on. Maybe the bulb was burnt out of my other instrument cluster and I didn't know it. Seems to be braking fine. Should I be worried about it?

Would any one of the plugs or sensor make the light go off? If so which one?

The sensor is also the speed sensor, so that won't work. In fact, lack of a speed signal would probably force the light ON. Disconnecting the module, located behind the glove box, would turn it off. Disconnecting the valve would probably NOT turn it off.

I will take a picture of behind my glove box and send it to you so you can tell me what to unplug. Will it effect anything else?

I'm not sure what to say here:
On my 88s, the rear ABS light was always on and it never had any ABS. I never cared about it anyway. No issues.
On my 93, it *does* work, the light is not on, and I do notice it working on emergency braking. I do like it - it seems to help a bit with locking up the rear wheels.
I'd try to troubleshoot before giving up on it first, because it's not exactly a *bad* thing. It may not be worth spending a lot to fix, but if it's a simple issue, fix it.
