Brake light and traction control issue

[OrganDoctor]

I have had the intermittent ABS/Traction Control problem for about a month now.The conditions would indicate a bad or loose connection to one of the wheel sensors, but in this weather in NH I haven't tried to check out the sensors. When the ABS/Traction control is out and the brake light is on, the Taurus handles and brakes like a slimy pig. Very scary !!
It would be a shame to replace expensive modules or by scanners before checking for corroded or failing sensors which is the probable cause

Could be that stupid level sensor in the brake fluid resivoir. ford and their dam sensors. I finally, after years, found just the plastic resivoir at Rock auto and changing it was a simple matter and my problem went away. do that and when you fill up the new one bleed all your brakes to get the new fluid in your lines and you'll be good to go.
As for handling when the TC/ABS is out, if you read the three year story behind this post I had the same issue but never noticed any difference in braking other than in the snow I would just spin my wheels. I am SO glad I have my traction control back as this has been a horrid winter and I've used it alot, and that's just getting out of my driveway!!
