I have 97 EB Expy, recently changed the brakes on it, new rear calipers and pads, front pads and re-lubed the whole thing. I didn't bleed the fronts but I bled the rears. While driving a couple miles the ABS light decided to come on. The first time the ABS light came on was a week ago before I changed my brakes and it was still cold out like today was when it came on. I still could brake and stuff. One of the rear calipers was stuck so it caused some dragging thus the brake job. When I turned off the Expy and turned it back on the light stayed off. I took my truck in recently to have Ford install a speed sensor recall with a jumper. Could it be the jumper or one of my ABS sensors are bad or should I bleed the entire braking system and see if that is the culprit? thanks in advance.

i think its a sensor....i power washed my under carage once...put a heavy spray of water all over brakes from back of rims.....

this caused light for abs to come on.....went off after a day or so.

there not expensive i HEARD....never know thou. change all 4 if cheap:cool:

sensor light i dont think has nothing to do with calipers,pads,ect....start with the side u said was sticking....prob. got hot there.
