Hello Everyone. 97 Ranger XLT 4.0 2WD ABS Light comes on every once in a while.

Here is the story. So far we have completely replaced the front and rear brakes. (Shoes, Pads, Rotors, and the drums were still good) Replaced the right rear wheel cylinder. Now here is the problem. The ABS light comes on intermittently. When the light does come on "I" feel the brake pedal loosen (not quite squishy) and you can feel the brakes actually squeeze in the pedal. Also when this happens, and you are coming to a complete ,the wheel will turn slightly to the left. When it happens to her, she says the brake pedal gets hard. So far two different shops have not been able to find a problem. We had them adjusted/bleed and flushed about a week ago and still the light comes on. Any clues??

...Welcome here...

...My first thought would be dirty sensors at the wheels...I had a similar problem on my 95 ranger and that was the fix..If you do a search on here you will find the information you seek, Good Luck..

My sensors are FILTHLY, so my light stays on about 90% of the time.
