Default ABS Light flashing

I have a 1996 F150 and my ABS light just went on, it flashes 15 times. How can I fix this?

I believe there is a abs sensor on the rear diff. Test or replace it. Check the wires going to the sensor also. Clean the connection also.Fuse? The sensor should be magnetic and could have partials of the diff suck to it. Take it off and look at it.

check your fuse. when i first started using my truck to tow a few years ago i had the lights wired bad, and it would constantly blow my fuse. causing the light to flash.

This ^

The sensor on top of the rear differential is a common failure item.
