How do i turn off my ABS light on my 2008 f250 diesel

Go to a car parts store and have them scan your ABS failure code. That will tell you what the problem is. It could be something really simple and easy to replace and then again it could be really expensive to replace. You will not know until you find out the failure code is.

You need to check the fuse box make sure all the fuses are okay.

Sounds like your charging system (Alternator) may be failing. Take it to an auto parts store and have a charging system load test performed.

Let us know results.

Best regards,

It is for sure that the front collision has done the damage to all the sections mentioned and it was important that before you took delivery of the car a proper trial test run was important. It will be best to get this back and have it checked to rectify the above faults.possible cable , sensor, gear could be damged and might need replacement.

check your fuses and replace any blown

Did you get the codes when the wrench came on

You may be spinning in the snow and the ABS is being
activated, in a less than desirable way

I wish I could turn mine off in the Lincoln LS
on a bad snowy day.
That ford abs system is useless in winter
You can't even use the vehicle, it slams on the rear
brakes,then starts to cut cylinders.

I want to go back to the 1960's

If you are still stuck in the driveway, that's why the ABS light is still on. Get a snow shovel and dig the car out. Once you get the car on the road and all the wheels are turning the same speed the ABS light will most likely go off. It doesn't hurt anything to drive the car with the ABS light on. What that light is telling you is, the "Antilock Brake System" (ABS) is not working. The brakes will still work but, the antilock portion will not, so when you hit a icy patch, the wheels can lock during braking. The ABS senses the speed of all the wheels and if you have been spinning the wheel in the snow, it throws the system out of sychronization. Once you get out of the snow and you start to drive the light will go off, if the system is in working order. The light should go off in a block or two, if not stop the car shut the engine off and restart it. Try it again and see if the goes off, if not there's a problem with the system, get it to a shop.

I bet you also lose the function of your cruise control when it happens. I would start first with checking the wiring connection on the vehicle speed sensor (also acts as abs sensor). Remove the sensor, clean it up and reinstall. If that doesn't work, replace the VSS.

You will find it on the top of your rear differential.

Side note: If you ever get stuck in the mud/snow and have to rock the truck forward/reverse, sometimes that will trigger your ABS light as well. This will normally reset itself after a few on/off cycles of the engine.

I had the same problem with ABS light and speedometer, I was told that it is the transmission control module. It has not yet stopped shifting but I have had times where it just wont stay running. It will start and then stall. Hope this helps.

you are dealing with a bad ecm
