Time to sell?

To be honest you would at least have to fix the ABS to get any real money for the explorer.

No one is going to pay much money for a 30 year old SUV with an ABS light on. I'm in the rust belt so the rust is eating my 98 away, It sits parked 99% of the time now but I still use it to get lumber that wouldn't fit in my other cars and the back of it has become a portable storage shed while it is parked. It worth more to me for those two reasons than I would get for selling it.

I paid $1900 for it, so 7 years later, I wouldn't expect much for it anyway. I would feel better if the ABS issue were resolved. I'll take a stab at it. Since the breaks are working fine, it might just be the sensor or something easy.

I’d bet your AC system is empty, so I wouldn’t worry too much about properly evacuating the system—it’s likely already gone.

If you’re gonna get in there and do the compressor, you need to also do the drier. If you’re gonna do the drier, replace the orifice tube. And at that point, disconnect all the lines and replace all the green o-rings.

It’s honestly not a bad job…just be sure that’s your only leak before you start.

Thanks, considering the current state, I think I'll give it a shot at DIY.
