Hi -
Have a '99 F-150 Lariat, Ext Cab, 4X2, Disks in front and rear...
Had the truck inspected last week and it passed, but was told it would need front pads very soon (Backs were fine). One thing I had noticed was that about 2-3 months ago, the ABS light came on intermittently and as time went on, stayed on more than it was off. At the time of the inspection, it had come on within a few seconds after starting, and stayed on all the time. That said, I thought maybe the light was coming on because the brakes were so low and it was somehow tripping the ABS sensor or something. Anyway - Did the front brakes last night and they were very low (about 1/16th left - they were in the squealer, but not cutting the rotors). I replaced the pads and took it for a test drive. It stops nice, and everything seems to be fine. The only thing is the ABS light is still on. I also expected the brake pedal to be a little tighter, but it still has a little amount of travel (spongy). Fluid is high, so does anyone have any ideas on how to correct the above issues?
Thanks,
IYM
