ABS light
Ok, I know it's dangerous, but.....
My ABS light has been on for a while. Back brakes lock up, so I really think the ABS system is gone, but can't afford to fix it right now ($$$$).
How can I disconnect the light?
Thanks.

I'm with Sean, the ABS [RABS] is about worthless on a F150. I do think the lock up is causing the ABS light to come on. If you have drums take the off and use some 180 or 220 grit sandpaper and knock the glaze off the brake shoes then wash them with water and they should stop locking up for a while. Had the same problem with my 98 and had to do this about every 8 months.

Thanks for your help guys....I'm going to try the sandpaper, then pull the bulb (how do I get to it?) if that doesn't work.
I'm not much of a mechanic.....how do I get to the bulb?
Thanks for all your help,
John

Years back, mid eighties, brakes would lock up because of out of round drums. Perhaps this is his problem, not the ABS not functioning correctly. Just a thought.
