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

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.

could you have a low or odd sized tire on the car? have you bumped a sensor? Is the light on?

It could be a wheel speed sensor. have your brakes inspected. good luck

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

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
