ABS System
We recently purchased a 95 F-150. 4WD, with the 5.8 motor. What do I need to look at when the ABS light flashes on the dash? Where is the sensor for this located or where is the main ABS control located?
I posted about this yesterday, and there was a little extra complexity because the truck also had a trailer brake wired in, but I unpluggged that for now.
Basically the brake lights are not coming on when I depress the brake pedal, and the ABS light is constantly flashing on the dash panel.
Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

The RABS Module is behind the glove box.
Check all fuses first.

The RABS module must have a signal from the brake lights. I agree that your problem is probably the brake light switch under the dash at the top of the brake pedal. Once you get the brake lights working disconnect the battery for about 30sec. to erase the error codes and try it then.

The RABS module resets itself each time the ignition is turned off, so disconnecting the battery will not do anything but make you have to reset the radio presets.
Bill (subford), where is the pressure switch? Is it in the RABS modulator valve on the frame rail?

Oh ok, gotcha. I didn't even think of that. What did the older vehicles with the vacuum operated cruise control use for a brake pressure input, anything?
