PLEase HELP...ABS light, Trac Light on 4x4 light on

[lai642]

I have a 2003 Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition with advancetrac and I am having serious issues right now and I am so lost as what to do....
.... the ABS light as well as the advanctrac light stay on and every now and then the 4x4 light flashes, the dash computer reads to check advancetrac system. at times when you press the brake it kind of flutters, then vehicle acts as if it wants to either go into 4x4 or kick in traction not sure. i went to aa mechanic who hooked it to th computer and the code read to change the rear abs speed sensor, which i did but now the problem just seems to have gotten worse. has anyone ever experienced this? I contacted the /stealer/dealer and they are playing guessing games. I am so fristrated and I feel like im putting myself in danger every time i drive this car?

Replace the sensor on the end of the master cylinder. It took care of my problem, ABS light would go on intermittently. Replaced sensor and no more ABS light. Part is $20.00 from Ford. Don't get ones from Autozone / Advanced.

I had a similar issue with my 2004 about a year ago. Dealer had to replace the Advance Trac yaw sensor under the rear seat. Total cost was around $600,
