ABS Problem when making HARD left only

Ok folks, this one is rather odd, at least for me anyway. When i make a hard left turn, like turning into a parking stall for example, and step on the brake, the ABS light comes on and there are no brakes so stop with. ran up on the curb, thankfully. went to an empty parking lot to duplicate and can only get it to fault when making a hard left turn. if i bring the wheel back some the brakes will work but i still get the abs light. Now the light will come on when driving but the brakes will work just fine even if i slam on them, unless i make a hard left turn.

any suggestions where to start? How can i get the DTC for the brake system without paying out the ford nostril?

First you'll want to look around the front wheels and steering linkage to see if any ABS wires or brakes hoses are getting pinched or tugged on while the steering is turned to the left.

I have checked to ensure that neither front wheels have a pinched wire, or brake hose, nothing is visible. It still does the same thing. The brakes seem to function just fine though. any other thoughts?

You have no brakes? Sounds like Ford better fix their problem. Or did the braking system have faulty maintenance? Auto Zone will read your codes for free. They will probably want to sell you something but that's why it's a free service.

My only other thought is a bad wheel sensor connection or a wire is broken inside the insulation. Since the wire moves as the wheel is turned, it could be making and breaking contact.
