Welcome to FTE.
To begin the process of correcting the problem, you first need to pull the code(s) for the RABS. There should be info on how to do this in the Explorer forum but if not the sticky in the Ranger forum most likely covers this. The code(s) will steer you in the direction of the problem and will help prevent you from fixing this by the "hit and miss/guessing" method.

this is how you get the code
TO OBTAIN THE FLASH CODE:
1.
Locate the RABS diagnostic connector (orange/black wireon the main wire hareness under the drivers side dash right on to of the back side of the wheel well) and attach a jumper wire to it and momentarily (1 to 2 seconds) ground it to the chassis.
2.
Quickly remove the ground. When the ground is made and then removed, the RABS light will begin to flash.
3.
The code consists of a number of short flashes and ends with a long flash. Count the short flashes and include the following long flash in the count to obtain the code number. Example 3 short flashes and one long flash indicated Code No. 4. The code will continue until the ignition is turned OFF. Refer to the flashcode diagnosis charts for further instructions.
