NOTICE ABS FUSE AND RELAY MISSING

I bought a 2001 ford escape and a few weeks after i had it i was checking out the engine compartment and notice someone had taking the ABS fuse and relay out. Im trying to think why they would do this. It brakes fine and there isnt a light on. Could someone been trying to get the ABS light to go out or could the ABS system be mess up. Any suggestions would be helpful

SOURCE: check engine light reset for 2001 ford escape

On any car 1996 or newer after a repair is made the memory in the computer has to be cleared the light will not go away by itself. The proper way to clear this is with a scanner or code reader but if you dont have any other way unhooking the battery will force the computer to loose all its memory and start all over and the light will go away. If the light returns after a few days you still have a problim.

SOURCE: 2000 ford windstar... electrical mess!!

one reason for that fuse to blow is a bad brake pressure switch on the master cylinder. could be a
warranty/recall item. can also leak brake fluid. also check behind each wheel for any sign of brake fluid,
particularly the rear wheels if you have rear drum brakes. fixed one here recently where the vehicle's jack
came loose in the right rear compartment and short that circuit. make sure your jack is stowed properly.

good luck

SOURCE: 2006 ford escape - abs and 4wd lights on yesterday

the grinding nose you heard was something rubbing on the rotor, bad brakes, caliper, after market wheels, etc. the pressure of a turn bends something enough to touch, this is produceing metal flake that attached to the magnetic sensor on the abs sending a light on because it couldn't read the tire position as it turned, it may have got blown off, washed off, but when it can read the tire again the light will go off, i would look into the grinding noise on cornering thats the cause of the problem. hope this helps

Where is the location of the ABS relay?

It would be listed in the owners manual with the fuses - should be in the engine compartment in one of the fuse boxes.

2001 f-150 ford pick up truck . horn will not work

Did you check the fuse for the horn ? Engine compartment fuse panel, fuse #7, 20A

You can pull the horn relay, and jumper the normally open contacts to see if the fuse, horn and grounds for the horn are in working order ( this operates the horn without needing to use the horn button ).
The Horn relay is a half size Ford ISO relay in the engine compartment fuse panel ( check your owners manual to locate relay 206 ).

Diagram to jumper the horn relay, with this in place, the horn should sound as long as the jumper is in place

WHERE IS THE ABS FUSE IN A 1999 FORD CROWN VICTORIA

#15 in the fuse box on the far right side of the engine compartment. alternatively, you can unplug the big plug on the ABS module, which is on the left side of the engine compartment, toward the front of the car. it's got brake lines running in/out of it, it's hard to miss.

Can i bypass the abs system on my 98 ford windstar

Are you wanting to discontinue the abs? If so, then keep in mind that you will no longer have abs. The brakes will still function the same without abs. In order to "bypass" the abs system, locate the main fuse/control box under hood. There should be either a relay or large fuse marked for abs. If so, simply remove the fuse/relay.
