F150 abs brake abs light stays on

Take an have code's checked , do you know what those are ? DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes stored in the abs control module . Anti-lock brake system , wheel speed sensor . nothing to do with base brake system .

Norman, The ABS light is telling you there is a fault in the Anti Lock Braking system, could be faulty wire/plug,sensor, leaking/stuck wheel cylinder/caliper, etc. The computer in your vehicle will have to be scanned to find the fault, diagnosed and estimate repair. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

check that the switch on the hand brake is working when you pull the brake on.

Well, it could mean that the emergency brake has not been fully released.The ABS system light is on if something has occurred within the ABS system. Something faulty may have happened there, get it checked out!

have it scanned and check for codes autozone will do it free

ck abs codes, does the speedometer act OK???? there is a speed sensor in the rear axle housing that is common on these.

The ABS is only a sensor and won't effect the brakeing even if the light is on. the only thing I can think to check is the steel brake line that connects to the rubber line. May be it's pinched and isn't letting the pressure off when you let off the brakes.

ABS HAS TO DO WITH YOUR BRAKE SENSORS. ONE OF THEM COULD BE BAD OR MORE. YOUR FAN CLUTCH PROBABLY IS GONE BAD. IT IS LOCATED IN FRONT OF THE FAN . IT WILL BE ROUND AND GRAY. IT'S PRETTY EASY TO REPLACE , YOU WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE FAN SHROUD TO ACCESS THE BOLTS.

NO CK FOR WIRES BROKEN TO ABS SENSOR ON TOP OF THE REAR TWO WIRE TERN. & CK SENSOR IN REAR WITH OM METER

You might have damaged the brake sensors that are located near the rotor.
