Default ABS not working, whats the common thing that goes with these?

My ABS light is on. I really want this fixed before the winter so that my traction control works. Does anyone know what usually goes on these cars when it comes to ABS. What are the components of an ABS system?

It's probably one of the sensors. It most likely went bad.

Autozone or some place like that can tell what the code is for free and you should be able to pinpoint it. Most commonly though on fords it seems like the wheel sensors go bad.

Btw, traction control probably screws you more than it helps you in the snow.

check yer fuses... traction control is a b!tch in snow! all traction control does is retard your motor to stop the power, don't think it has anything to do with the brakes, but it is possible to retard the motor so much the damn thing stalls!
