The ABS system/light is pretty simple. The only thing you really have are the ABS computer, the valve itself and then power and grounds.

If your light is on then you have power. If you haven't screwed with any other wires then your grounds are OK.

You can read this thread to see what I did to get the codes out of my ABS computer...https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=445265

Good luck

I had that problem but it was because my ignition switch is so sloppy it doesnt matter if you put the door key in it will start. The only problem is If I start it with the wrong key all the lights stay on and the trasnmission doesnt shift right...lol its messed up.

Sounds like mine....give it time and it will start with all kinds of keys. Basically mine will start and all the lights are on that are on when you first hit the key. On top of that the door chime never goes off when the doors are shut so I ripped the plunder out of the door to make it stop.. lol probobly all tied into something in the colum.

so i put a fuse in it today thinking it was the cigarette lighter until i read the fuse panel and it was the ABS
