Default 2003 Mach 1 ABS

I have a 2003 Mach 1, and the ABS Light comes on and the traction control does not work, I noticed that the rear brakes are not working either, anyone have any ideas what could be wrong, could it be the ABS Module or the ABS Hydrolic Plate or both, or could it be something totally different, also what years and makes of Mustangs will interchange. Thanks

How do you know the rear brakes are not working?

As for ABS issues. I usually look around for obvious problems. Cut wires, sensors filled with metal particles, cracks in the notched wheels (they are hard to see), burnt abs fuse. If all that passes. You need to have the diagnostic codes read.

You're rear brakes are SHOT.. get them fixed or fix them yourself. Doing too many standing/brake burnouts with the car?

Even if the ABS sensor wire was cut your brakes would still work.
