ABS Light
Ok, my 97 F150 2 wheel drive ABS light started flashing, flashes 16 times and on the 16th time it stays lite for a few seconds and then starts over. I made it home turned of the truck started it back up but now it will not come out of park. Any idea's?

Turn the ignition to RUN, but not START. Try to shift the tranny out of park this way. If it will switch, have someone press on the brake pedal and check to see if the brake lights come on. Also check for voltage with a test light on both sides of the BOO switch(With brake pedal depressed). If only voltage on one side, replace the switch....

so the brake light switch is also the shift enterlock switch? It is the only switch connectted to the pedal or arm unless there is one out by the booster. By the way, I do not have brake lights and thanks for the tip on getting it out of park, it worked.

The RABS fault at the same time indicates this isn't a simple BOO switch problem.
If #13 is blown, call your dealer with your VIN to see if any recalls are open but Ford was unable to notify you.

Hello ASR GUNS, You say you put another brake light switch in this vehicle. Do you have voltage from both sides of the one that you just put in when the brake pedal is depressed? Do you have brake lights now? Have you checked ALL of your fuses for continuity? Do you have a high side or 3rd brake light and is it working ? Joe

I realize that this may seem like a redundant question but did you check all the fuses. Including under the hood as well as in the operators compartment? You can pick up a simple 12vt test light from an autoparts dealer or Big Lots or dollar general for about 3-4 dollars. That purchase may be to your advantage. Remember when testing that some of the fuses may not be hot on both sides until a system is activated. An example of this would be the headlights. If you don't have a copy of the fuse schematic let us know and I am sure that someone can provide one for you or at least the location of certain fuses. You can also find it in your operators handbook if you have one.Joe
