Im rebuilding my 2002 ford excursion and I took out the abd modulator to paint the brakes and clean up the modulator not i don't know which brake line goes to we high connection on the modulator its a 2002 2wd 5.4 gas excursion does anyone have a picture of there modulator showing which breaks lines go to the modulator so I can hook mine up correctly.

 

You should post a picture of yours, so we can see what you mean. I have a 2002 4wd, but I am not sure what you are describing. You should not have to remove anything ABS related to take your brakes off.

 

Here is the pic of my modulator 5 ports. i have 1 rear brake line , 1 front right passenger side brake line, 1 front left driver brake line , and the 2 brake lines going to the master cylinder . I dont know which lines go where in this modulator i pulled it apart and forgot to document where they go

 

Oh, I see now. This is how they lay out on my rig.



The 2 in line are for the master cylinder and the 3 in line are for the brakes on my rig. Good luck.

 

Wow thank you this should really help me out a lot you are really helping me out today thank you.

 

Glad to help. Make sure you check your fittings on the modulator and master cylinder. I had mine leak because I thought they were nice and tight, but I had to tighten them again after I had re-pressurized the system. It is nearly impossible with the airbox and canister in place.

 

I will double check my fittings when I bleed the system. Is there anything special like procedure wise when bleeding the brake system or did you just bored it like a normal brake flush would do.

 

I recently replaced all the brake lines and all the hard lines, even the two from the master cylinder. I had to rebuild all four calipers, replaced all the rotors and brake pads. It was all disconnected for several weeks.

I finally got it all back together and I used a piece of tubing into a plastic bottle (like a clear gatorade bottle) from the bleeder valve. Drill a hole in the cap so the tube fits tight into it. Break all the bleeders free then just a bit back tight so it is easy to do when the hose is attached.

I started with filling the master cylinder to the top, then went to the Passenger Rear and broke the bleeder free enough to drip and pumped the brake pedal to get a stream into the bottle, then tightened the bleeder. Then went to Driver Rear, then Passenger Front, then Driver Front. The sequence is furthest away to the shortest away from the master cylinder. Make sure a stream comes out from each brake to ensure no air in the system. I had no issues with a soft peddle or having to mess with the ABS module. I did this by myself as well, so it is very achievable alone.

 

Prefect that will make it easy for me to do then thank you.

 

Since there is no info on these brake systems anywhere, i hoping you will help me. I need to replace the rear brake line that runs the length of the frame on the driver's side. Does that line connect directly to the ABS? If not, where does it connect up front? Did you perform the job on a lift or on jacks?

 

the line connects closest to firewall on your abs at least on my 07 6.0 that 1 line is for both rear brakes and if you come in through bottom side you might be able to squeeze through if you move some crap out the way
