Default Eh I quit...

I can't figure out why the hell my ABS light is on...

Anyone know of anyway I can get the problem diagnosed by a shop without paying the dealership $120 just to look at my car?

check your e-brake. might sound stupid, but some people do it. even if its pulled up just a little, it might cause it to go on. check you brake fluid, master cylinder, etc. might even be a bad sensor.

well i've posted about it a couple times but never really got any follow through replies... I think it might be a sensor but i'm not sure cause no one repied haha but i'll try typing the story out one more time...

It use to be that whenever I would go on a steep incline or whatever with my front passenger wheel the ABS light would come on, then I would turn the car off then back on and it'd be fine.

Well I recently snapped my rear swaybar and lifted the cars rear to pull it off...

Since then my ABS light has been on, and yes I know it has nothing to do with the swaybar but I was thinking the wieght on that front wheel caused the issue, sound like a sensor to you?

weight in a vechicle prob wont cause the ABS to go on....you have 4 wheel speed sensors that all have to read exactly the same...if one or more isnt then your light will come on,,, need a scan tool to tell you your ABS code

as dumb as it sounds, do check your brake fluid. i had that pop on on my other ford, filled it up and it went away. mine was leaking because i had aleaky cylinder which i figured out after i filled it two or three times. lol.
