ABS light coming on

Hi, i have a 91 Aerostar, 3.0l. My ABS light comes on whenever I reach a speed of about 35mph. Until i reach that speed, it is off, except for right when I start the vehicle. It then stays on until I turn the car off. After doing a search of this site, it seems that the speed sensor on the rearend is probably the culprit. Is there any way to check it without a scanner, or is this pretty much of a slam dunk, knowing the symptoms. Thank you in advance, Nick

I switched sensors and still having the same problem. I did notice the switch at the front of the mastercylinder is full of brake fluid, so will have to replace either the switch or the M/C itself. Could this be causing the light to come on at exactly the same speed each time? If I stay under 37mph, then the light will not come on. thanks, Nick

That switch on the front needs to be taken out and cleaned inside and out. Be carefull not to break it, It's made of plastic.
