I have a brake line that leaked and "drowned" the ABS control module under the distribution block. How do I replace it?

Thanks for all this info. I'm having a similar issue right now with my ABS light, traction control light, and Brake indicator all coming on at once and staying on, though the Expedition drives normally.Well I finally have sucesfuly finished replacing my ABS module on my 2004 Eddies Bauer Expedition . The last and final step was to go to my local Ford dealer to have them "calibrate" the replacement ABS module. I was told by the service manger to bring in my old ABS module as the "technician" may need to download codes from the old ABS module to "calibrate" the replacement ABS module. I do not know if this was necessary or not but Ford charged me $98 to do the "calibration". No everything appears to be working correctly with no ABS warning lights or traction control warnings. FINALLY!!! I sure was happy that I could drive the car without a functioning ABS module while I worked to replace it!
I estimate that all my costs to do this was about $325 - not bad since I was told the dealer cost for a new ABS module was $871 and a rebuilt ABS module itself costs about $300 online. For me this was a 3 month journey. I learned a lot, saved considerable money, and I feel accomplished.
I sure hope Ford no longer uses steel brakes lines that fail after about 10 years use on salt treated roads. I know newer coated and alloy brake lines last much longer! I also plan to use the "under-body spray" at the car wash on a more reguler basis.
