Can't drive it cos it's in hibernation! Changed one of the front sensors as it broke whilst trying to remove the front stub axle.Got a brand new item from Ford but hasn't worked since(i think). Didn't find out till a few months later when the wheels locked under some serious braking.

Default ABS TEST

1:get in the car push your foot on the brake pedal and hold it pushed down.

2:turn your ignition on and the pedal should move down(only a fraction) as well as this you should hear a click!

BUT 1ST CHECK THE FUSE AS I SAID ABOVE M8!

hope the above can sort your prob m8!
