My 2000 f-150 xlt's light came on, Just wondering where I should start to look to fix the problem? Thinking to start on the rear end ABS sensor. Input is very greatful! Thank WOJO!

 

That's a good place to start but it should throw a code if I remember right.

 

Is It the ABS light or the Brake light? Asking because my brake light comes on about once a week. To turn it off I have to release the parking brake. ( I hit the parking brake pedal when entering by accident)

 

I have the same truck 2000 xlt off road and when my ABS light was on I replaced the rear ABS sensor and all my problems went away. The light reset it self. Id start there since its a quick easy fix. A lot of times on these trucks its the sensor.

 

Does you F150 have 4 wheel ABS or just the rear?

If just rear check then check the sensor located in the Diff.

If it has 4 wheel ABS then I would check the front sensors first. They may have rotted away as both of mine have done. Not too bad to replace, but be sure to get a longer bolt/screw to hold the sensor onto the back of the steering knuckle. OEM sensors had a thin metal flange where the replacement had a thick plastic mount and the original bolt would not even touch the knuckle. Mine were a self tapping metric bolt.

Buy from Ford or Rock Auto.

 

Thanks for all of the help guys! It was the rear ABS sensor! My Brother in law works for THE WORLDS OLDEST FORD DEALERSHIP, Shout out for TENVOORDE FORD SAINT CLOUD MN, Called him and he took care of my parts needs! Thank god this was easy for me!!! Thanks again for all the help! WOJO!

 

Yeah my dome light does the same thing when I open the door, I always have to close the door for it to go off.

 

So exactly how do I go about checking/changing the ABS sensor?
