Default At A Loss With ABS on 99 Cobra

I have a 99 cobra has an abs light on. The computer is not getting any power. I have replaced the relay, checked all the fuses, made sure there was so corrosion in the harness and nothing. Does anyone else have any ideas to check or what to do. Not having traction control on gravel roads and rain SUCKS. Please let me know what you think!!!

Well first thing is first, what do you mean by "the computer is not getting any power"? Did you have the ABS codes read? we need something to go on here...

And as far as the gravel and rain...nvm I'll be nice.

I would bank on it being the ABS module, mine kicks on and off, seems like my braking is unaffected though, just a pesky little light, i had the code read via a computer/ OBD II plug in with Ford softwear and the guy (who is a ford tech) told me my ABS module is simply not responding.... however, my brakes still work very well.

When i say rain and gravel i am referencing starting in 1st, this car barely goes above 2grand. The are no codes at all, they cannot get any signal from the module itself

Gotcha. Def the Module then. Get a replacement and you'll be good to go!

As stated, whenever the ABS module says F-YOU and wont tell you codes, it took a poop.

Seriously? Vehicles I had before my current mustang never had ABS and I didn't notice any difference in my ability to drive or stop. But I guess skill comes naturally to some people :P

32v+3.73+wet road=no fun. try it. I am also coming off of owning a wrx for two years, and you NEVER have to worry about spinning in that haha. I found that the ABS relay under the hood is missing!
