Solved
Ford F-150 2004 220000 miles
Hi friends, I have a problem with my Ford F150 2004: I changed the discs and the shock absorbers and now the ABS and brake indicator lights came on. I already changed the sensors and checked the discs. Ideas?

Check the ABS connector plug, it might be loose. I just tried disconnecting mine and it did the same.

Check your ground wires if yah still got the vehicle? That would be my first guess anyways

You should scan it and check the error code. It might be a broken or dirty wheel sensor, or it could be a cable that goes to the sensor making the circuit fail.
Intermittently on and off. Now it's mostly on. How do I repair this?

For most make and models that is an indicator that your alternator has gone bad.
It's not a bad alternator. Anyone have any other suggestions. I'm going to try testing a few fuses next

CommentAbs light is on.
Ford F-150 2009 5.4 Triton 150000 miles
I changed my brakes out/ front passenger and driver side. Caliber and all. Bleed the brakes till I saw no air pockets. Abs light was one when I bought this truck. Now I have to push 2-3 times before brake works normally. Please 🙏 any suggestions!? I have already changed the brake master cylinder. Did nothing. I'm at $1000 now... in repair cost. Done all myself so any help would be a blessing 🙌. Thanks AJ

Please help. With this. Has been. A headache getting stranded too much have been checking. Wires, and fuses, still got more to check can you have a certain type of computer. To finde out. The direct. Problem whAT Type if possible????
In the 2004 ford f150 if you have that problem its the ground screw on the passenger side because they left out sealent around the windshield,water gets down in the passenger side. Take off the panel by the fuse box towards the door and check the ground,its usally russted away. Take and put in a new ground screw or use one already there.

Hello all! My truck doesn't have ABS, a mechanic already checked that, and it doesn't have ABS sensors either, but in the dashboard the ABS light and brake light are on. The scanner doesn't show anything, does anybody know what's going on and how can I fix it?

In these trucks, the ABS sensor is on top of the differential. Check that out, and good luck!
Anti skid sensor wire grounding out front right on frame, added tape light gone away.
Same here fixed the abs the break lights still on

CommentA bunch of sensors failing at once
Ford F-150 2018 Lariat V8 124326 miles
ABS light is on, parking sensor failure, traction control off, hill start not active. I know about the check engine light it's P0022 so I have to replace the VCT solenoids. But all these sensors failed while I was driving one time so I thought the battery was bad but it's fine.
