I want information on this too. I want to remove my ABS system too. Why? Doesn't matter. I just want it gone and I have my reasons. I don't want to "just pull the fuse" or disconnect the ABS control module. I want to remove all of the ABS components. If I'm not using it, I don't want it. I just completed an engine overhaul with lots of goodies. If anyone can give me some educated advice my family and I would be eternally grateful. If possible, please provide pictures, parts, etc. I have found custom brake line kits that will allow me to convert all of my brake lines into steel braided lines. I am open to buying an offroad brake kit if one exists that will allow me to remove the ABS components. I have a 1997 Ford Expedition XLT 5.4L 330 Windsor SOHC VIN L 4x4
Same here....01 Expy EB 5.4L. I was told with mine that the internal sensor within the complete module is going bad so therefore the entire module needs to be replaced...which would cost me $300-400 overall with a core charge.
Now my ABS light comes on sporadically ... no real pattern in driving habits to when it comes on, some days it doesn't come on at all......some days it comes on after 15-20 minutes of driving....other days it comes on right away.
Of course I have had my brakes lines flushed, installed new brakes, pads and rotors, and it still seems to occur.
Though, I have not really checked the fuse, and/or trying to replace the fuse overall to see if it would "reset" itself or not.
But the ironic aspect is I had to take it to an independent mechanic who specialized in Fords to really determine the overall problem, because the 2 Fords dealerships could not make heads or tails of why it was occurring.
Really puts a lot of faith in taking your Ford back to a dealership for anything doesn't it?
