Default Trac-control, ABS issues

Ok, got the 04 mach 1 and the trac control was working fine. That was only a week ago.. now when I start the car the green trac light flashes stays offand the trac light on the console stays orange... if I push the trac button it just stays orange and the green in dash trac light never comes on. Also, the ABS light is stuck on... Any simple ideas on what to do? I checked the fuses under the dash but have no guide to what goes where in the power dist. box under the hood. I have noticed other stang owners with trac-control having issues as well but no answers!

Can't just take it back to the dealership I bought it from cause it's like 500mi away. You said simple and easy, is it a simple and easy fix? Any idea on whats actually causing the problem or what it might cost?

Is it under warranty? I would never buy a used car without extending the warranty, if it does take it any dealer it doesn't matter. I imagine they will have to go into the ECU and reset whatever it is thats causing the problem.

I haveread about this issue on several other Mach'sbefore and it turned out to be one of the abs sensors on the wheels, these sensor affect both the trac loc and the abs.
