Yesterday I turned on my car and the ABS light turned on. I thought it just wanted to say a quick hello, but instead it's become a permanent fixture.

ABS is not working but regular braking is. I don't know where to start....any ideas?

I have a 93 XLT and the ABS light was on as well. After about 6 months of trying everything, it turned out to be the ABS control relay under the hood. Swapped out the relay and the light is off and the ABS works like it should. Just remember that the relays die after a while as well and I guess after 13 years, mine decided to call it quits.
 






Over the past few tears I have had 3 relays go bad. Including fuel pump, ABS and just replaced yesterday, the WOT AC cutout relay.
