So my mom was driving back from work and she said the ABS was now on during her way back. So i've been assigned the job of researching what could be wrong. Wondering if anyone has had a problem like this, and where to start diagnosing. Could it just be a loose connection, cable, etc? Is it probably a problem with the system that will cost $$$ to fix?


Thanks

nitrox,I have a 96,3.8 and I had my ABS light turn on, and I cleaned the sensors and filled up the brake reservoir and I havnt had the ABS light come on.Also do a search on ABS and you can get some more help. :sunglasse

As Bobinski stated a very similar fault diagnosis is usually an easy fix by topping up the brake fluid resevoir under the drivers front air cowling. It's kind of hard to get at, and make certain you use the proper brake fluid as per the owners manual to top up and seal securely as it draws moisture from the air around it once iopened. If beyond that the sensors may have to be cleaned but checking previous threads and forum info in this ..It is a common occurence with the Windstar.. So don't let Mom panic! Wait for the other bigger headaches to come.. oops.. did I say that!?

You will have to have it checked it is probably a speed sensor in one of the rear wheels
