The Anti Lock Brake System on a Mercury should store a trouble code that can be read with special equipment to let you know what the system is seeing wrong that caused the light to stay on. This code is usually stored for up to a week even when the light is not on.
It is possible that a low tire is causing the ABS system to think one of the tires is spinning too fast while braking and set the light. A low tire has to spin a little faster to keep up with the rest, which can appear to the computer as an anti lock brake situation or even an error. The correct tire pressure is listed on a sticker in the drivers door jamb.

The ABS warning light means there is a malfunction in the anti lock system on the brakes. This will not affect the conventional braking system on the car which will continue to operate normally.

The car is safe to drive as long as you recognize that it will now be possible to lock up your wheels under hard braking or when braking in slippery conditions where the tires have poor grip.

The problem with the ABS malfunction is that you no longer have an anti -lock assistance on the brake system so in certain conditions, such as on a wet road, you will be able to lock up the wheels on the car when you brake hard. The anti-lock system identifies and retards lock up (by releasing brake pressure on a wheel or wheels) and allows the wheels to keep turning slowly even when you have full pressure being applied on the brake pedal.

The ABS system relies on sensors and if one or more fails you will get an ABS warning. It could be a faulty or dead sensor but it is impossible to say without testing and inspecting the vehicle.

The ABS has it's own fuse so you can check the fuse box in the car to ensure the fuse has not blown. The fuse location is shown in the car's owner's manual. A blown fuse would trigger a warning.

You should take the car to a competent brake specialist to have it checked and the problem rectified.

It's much safer to have the ABS in operation.

That indicates that the ABS (anti-lock brakes) need service. You should bring it to a mechanic to be repaired.

When the ABS light stays lit you will only have normal brake capability. As long as it says on you will not have anti-lock brakes functioning.

Good luck!!

Check all the wiring to each wheel for a sensor is attached to the back side of each one. Road debries can shear a wire in two and cause the ABS light to stay on and have good brakes at the same time

First you have to plug in a OBD II reader and pull any codes. From there you can start to diagnose the problems.
Do not wait, the abs (anti-lock brake system) is important and may affect your braking.
Please let me know what you find.

anti lock light could be just because or your light problems.check for broken wires with an ohm meter

Usually what happens when the alternator has a faulty "conductor" i think its called;)

It is most likely a bad front wheel speed sensor.Your sure abs rings were on back of rotors?It is going to be next to impossible to fix without getting the code with a scanner
