Default ABS light

ok its bad enought the check engine light has been on since day oe for a minor evap leak, then the Brake light, I researched that and its a circuit behind teh dash board, but NOW the damn ABS light comes on and goes off, theres no brake issues mechanically that I can find, and trust me I and a mechanic for eth state of NC an dI work on fords all the live long day
I DID manage to find one on Ebay for $64, its everythingm the electronics and the hydraulics, I think I'll forget all the you tube videos I watched and just replace the entire thing and bleed the brakes

It might be worth a try, but without verifying it's the problem first, you could be replacing it unnecessarily.

I remembered teh code reader today I have the following codes :
C1300-00
abd motor pump failure

C1300-E0 ABS Pump motor circuit failure

B1596-20
Service continous memory DTC Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Got thease when i checled the ABS stytem other thatn that I have

B2659-20 Courtsy switch failure, that one I have been diagnosing by replacing teh lihjht switch and taking teh back door panels out the light problem is if you turn on teh dash lights the overhead lights come on unless yoru drive about 5 minutes first, I'm pretty sure thats a circuit between the door switch and the dash board because I've checked almost everything else, OR it could be the little thingie in teh door switch I need a new battery in my multimeter before I can test those LOL

This might help. It's out of a 2004 F150 Workshop Manual.
