Traction Control and ABS lamps on again--the problem continues
#11
I've replaced the sensor twice already and it hasn't solved the problem.
I know where the sensor's wiring connects inside the engine bay, but I haven't been able to figure where the wiring continues on from there. Where is this ABS module connector? Is it in the fuse box?

As I said above the connector is weird and takes a few minutes to figure out how to disconnect, don't break it, when it is released it comes off easily.

Got it unplugged finally. Checked the resistance at each end of both wires and the multimeter never left the OL position, even though I tried it on several bits of metal and it went to 0.0 in most cases. The only possible glitch is that in the ABS connector, the openings were very small, and I wasn't certain I was getting the probes to actually contact metal. So I'm not sure whether I'm getting a bad connection (faulty wiring), or no connection due to the ABS plastic.

OK, I'll see about that. Thanks. And yes, your instructions were pretty clear. I'm sure I had the right wires.

Ok, so I received the smaller probe pins and each wire went from OL to 0.0 when I connected each end with the probes. When I touched the probes to each other the multimeter also went to 0.0.
I suppose that means the wiring is good there.

Did you use a Ford Motorcraft speed sensor? I think if you jack up the front wheels and put the multimeter turned to AC voltage and plug in into the wheel speed sensor connector pins you should see a voltage when you spin the wheel, I dont know how fast you would need to spin the wheels though, I guess you could put in in drive with the front wheels off the ground, long as you secure the vehicle safely.
