ABS not working and no light.

[Downshift]

Finally remembered to ask about this. My ABS doesn't work, yes I know for sure I have tested it a few times and the brakes lock up and I just skid for a few feet. They have not worked for at least a year and a half to my knowledge(when I bought the car). The ABS is not on when I drive the car and I know nothing about these systems to be honest so what could I start to look for? Thanks.

I just realized my light never comes on not even when I start the car or anything.

 

[scarface]

blown abs fuse. and blown bulb in cluster.

or no bulb at all cause they got tired of looking at it like mine

Well while trying to look for the fuse I found out ford was awesome and didnt put what fuse was what on the cover just numbers and check your manual which I dont have. I checked in my haynes but that for some reason didnt have it either???? Anyone know what fuses/relays are for the ABS?

at my car:

Fuses are ok (60amps in zhe engine compartment and 10amps # 7 inside the car.
Lamp in the cluster is ok, testet.

What i did last week (i really don´t know if the lamp comes when i started before this work, but i know that the ABS worked...):
Canged Brake Lines to Russel Stainless Steel
Repair job for the Heater Core, the whole cluster was out of the car, but no connectors are lost or broken.

I´ve no idea...

According to the owners handbook, the abs fuse is number 7 rated at 10 amps. [thats the internal fusebox]
Under the hood, the high current fusebox, looking at it with the 4 relays to your right, its the first fuse on the left, in the left hand row of fuses, and its 60amp.

but what else could make the abs system not work besides fuses? the sensors or the ECU. i have this same problem to but my light will just come on sometimes when it will go off and then back on after a little while.

Possibly an intermittent sensor, or the main abs unit under the hood, there is'nt really much else it could be.

I know under my hood there is a red test plug that says "ABS test" maybe that can help?

 

[95-stang]

Must admit i have'nt seen a picture of any aftermarket tester for that, i'm betting its dealer only?

... next step:

Today i ran a test with my schantool, PCM reports no error and ... ABS reports no error, too?!?!?

I´ve really no idea why the ABS does not work...
