Fixed my ABS light
I am new to this site, but have been a lurker here for a few years. I just wanted to share how I fixed my ABS light today.
I read all archived posts on this subject and found that most people replaced thier rear ABS sensor that is on the rear differential. I tried this when my light came on with no luck. I have a '99 f150 4x4 and found the problem to be coming from my front wheel sensors. A simple test with an ohm meter found an open circuit in my left front wheel sensor. A $5 fix from the local junk yard, and I am up and running again. This seemed much cheaper than the $125 that my local Ford dealer charges to pull ABS codes with their scanner.
