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.

Mike from United States a year ago

Bruce from United States a year ago
The ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) and brake warning lights staying on may indicate an issue with your braking system. There are a number of potential causes for this problem, including a malfunctioning ABS control module, a failure of one or more wheel speed sensors, a low or empty brake fluid level, or a problem with the brake system's hydraulic system.
If you are able to, I would recommend having the vehicle scanned for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) using an OBD-II scan tool. This will give you a better idea of what is causing the ABS and brake warning lights to stay on. If the ABS control module is at fault, it will likely need to be replaced. If the wheel speed sensors are causing the issue, they will need to be replaced as well. If the brake fluid level is low, you will need to have the system inspected for leaks and the fluid level corrected.
It's also possible that the ABS and brake warning lights are staying on due to a failure of the electrical system, such as a blown fuse or a bad relay.

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.

Starting problems

Ford F-150 2007  214000 miles
I have an F150 Triton 5.4l, when I turn the key to start it it's as if it's dead, it makes no noise at all. Then I disconnect the battery cables, wait 5 minutes and connect them again and it starts, but after starting, the overdrive, ABS, handbrake and fault transmission lights turn on. I'll appreciate it if anybody can help me, the scanner says the transmission is flaky.
