ABS Light on!!!!

After 3 brake boosters, bled the hell out of the master cylinder. Used the check list off the ford service manual to comfirm bad boosters, still bad but the ABS light on now. Could this be the source of my problem all along? 2000,7.3,auto.

Could be. Where in Texas are you located? Putting the truck on a scanner would probably tell you a lot.

check the VSS sensor on the rear end. Its like a $15 part. Also, there is an ABS sensor in the brake master cylinder. Check that out too.

Let us know what you find.

Oh, and how short of a time span were the 3 brake boosters bad in?

I live in Streetman ,Tx. About 100 miles south of Dallas. I replaced the cab on this truck. The top was sheared off, but the brakes worked fine. I wonder if I took a line off the ABS, thinking it might need to be taken off the old truck, but just put it back on. Hell, I cant remember!
Went through 2 power steering pumps and 3 boosters in 7 months at O'reillys( they got my core so I was stuck with them) I had to pull a trailer with these bad brakes was when the ABS light came on.
Scan tool? Where can I get that done? thanks guys....
