#31 of 36 2000 F-150 ABS problem by chuckgibson Feb 28, 2009 (9:43 am)
One evening a box on the drivers side under the hood started buzzing. It would not stop until I unplugged it. After that the ABS light has stayed on. I have tried plugging it back in thinking that it might "reset " or something but it immediatly starts buzzing again. I have just drove it like that for months but it would be nice to have my baby running right. Any suggestions?

Replying to: chuckgibson (Feb 28, 2009 9:43 am) I just got my 2000 F-150 (103,000 miles) out of the shop.   Last night the ABS light went on and a humming started from under the hood. Even with the engine off, the humming continued.   I found out today my ABS sensor was shorted. The mechanic took out a fuse so my battery wouldn't die (I disconnected the battery last night to avoid this). The ABS is not functional, but the brakes still work. There is little safety issue other than some tire slippage in wet conditions.   The part is coming in tomorrow. Rather pricey. $620 w/labor to fix the ABS.

ABS Light is on cannot get any codes from computer. The rear brakes lock up and shutters, could it be the control module for the brakes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Replying to: chuckgibson (Feb 28, 2009 9:43 am) Had same trouble but did not drive or with the noise because I pulled the fuse in the fuse box under hood. Not the one under dash. see your manual for which one. Light will stay on noise will stop and of course you won't have ABS system. Don't like it anyway.

Replying to: geojand (Jul 21, 2009 10:08 am) Does anyone know where the ABS sensor is? I've been told that it's over the rear differential, and alternatively it's behind the right front disc rotor. I prefer to believe that it's behind the wheel disc rotor. Does anyone know for sure? I haven't taken the tire off to look closely, as I probably wouldn't recognize the sensor even I saw it. Anyone have any experience with this? Replies to this message: mickeymouse2 (Jul 23, 2009 7:54 pm)

Replying to: bassman45 (Jul 23, 2009 10:12 am) Its on the top of the differential on the yoke or drive shaft side. Here is a hint. Its the only thing that has a wire coming from it. Its held in by one 10mm bolt. If you have ABS front and rear then you will also have sensors on each front wheel also on the back side of the stearing knuckle below the brake calipers.
