07 F150 ABS question - help me figure out what I've got.
I have an 07 F-150, 4WD, Extended Cab. The truck was in a collision, left front, before I purchased it. Repairs were made but there were still a few issues with it. I've fixed everything except the anti-lock brake system. ABS doesn't work, light is on. That's where I need some help. The truck has ABS sensors on both front wheels. I'm wondering if they replaced the module with the wrong one (sticker says 2 wheel drive ABS). It's my understanding that it wouldn't have front sensors if it was only 2 wheel ABS. So my questions are. Am I correct in my understanding? Would a 2 Wheel ABS module unit bolt up to a 4 Wheel ABS pump? Would a 2 wheel abs pump fit a 4 wheel ABS truck. Just trying to figure out what I have. I already replaced all of the sensors. Then I thought it's probably the module and that's when I saw the 2 wheel drive ABS sticker. I can't remember if the sticker was on the module or the pump. I'm 150 miles away from it right now, or I'd go look.
Anybody?

Get a scanner that can read abs codes or take it to AutoZone and have them tell you the abs codes. Will give you a better idea as to what's going on than trying to guess and shooting the parts cannon it.
As for the abs module. Even if you replace it with a different module of the correct configuration you have to go in and do some programming regarding the as built data and what's stored in the on board computer from what I recall.

Thank you for the reply. I should have mentioned that I connected a reader last year. I don't recall exactly what the code was, but it was something none descript and unhelpful. A Google search suggested replacing the rear sensor with that code, so I did. I replaced the front sensors when I changed out the front pads and rotors because they weren't expensive and I was in there. What I really need to know is if this truck has the right ABS components. Based on it having front sensors, I "believe" it has 4 wheel ABS, but I fear the last guy put on 2 wheels ABS components. If that's case, I'll have to look into replacing those components with the current ones and get them programmed to the truck and consider cost. Or just live with it. The brakes work fine as non-abs brakes. It's a nice truck but not worth a lot since it has a salvage title. I only paid $5400 with 90,000 miles.

Search Google for the two different parts and other questions regarding 4x4 versus 2 wheel drive ABS systems.
Also, when available, you could take pictures of the parts you question then post them here. Others with 4x4 ABS system would be able to help then.

Thanks everyone. I've been looking on eBay for 07 ABS pumps and modules just for the puctures. There are several but all that I found had the same sticker that mine has saying "ABS RWD". So now I'm wondering if that means it's for a rear wheel drive truck or if it's 2 wheel ABS. My truck is 4 wheel drive with sensors on the front wheels.
So, is there anyone reading this that has an 07 F-150 that has 4 wheel ABS that can take a quick look at their ABS Pump/Module to see if there is a sticker that says ABS RWD"?
The photo is of a pump/module online, it's not mine.
Thanks again

Thanks Jimboy!
Yours says RWD just like mine.
Do you know if you have all wheel ABS, and what year your truck is?
Maybe RWD doesn't stand for Rear Wheel Drive in this instance.
I appreciate the help!!

Not a guru when it comes to Ford parts, but when checking the ABS control unit, the application:
'07 Lincoln Base
'07/'08 F150 All models, all engines
Module:
'06/'08 Lincoln
'04/'08 F150 All
Having said that, looks like no difference if 2wd, 4wd, or engine.

All 04-08 Trucks are rear wheel drive RWD except Harley addition which is AWD all wheel drive. they are not Honda civic's which are FWD front wheel drive. You are getting 2WD and 4WD mixed up. You will still need to get that ABS module programmed to your truck for it to work.
