I have a 99 Ford Explorer with 90k on it. It has never had a brake job, but stops great with no noise. The other morning I started it and the ABS light NEVER went off. I checked the fluid level, it was fine. Any suggestioons would be appreciated. Thanks, Barbara
Without knowing what code(s) are set, it's a duck shoot....
Like Johnny 5 said "Input, must have input...."

A hush fell over the crowd when, Roberts stepped up to the podium and announced:
could be your ABS sensor..but need more information. When was the last time you had a brake job?
He said it's never had a brake job.
Maybe he can post some codes...
Like Jim says, without codes, you are shooting in the dark !
And I don't *think* that Autozone's free code scanning is comprehensive enough to display the ABS codes. Although I could be wrong, it's worth a check.
The cursory things to check are the connectors on each front wheel for the hall-effect sensors, and the one in the differential in the rear. It's possible that they got pulled loose, or something. *shrug* worth a look.
other than that, maybe take it to a brake shop and get an estimate and see what they tell you? then you can decide whether to just have them fix it, or tackle it yourself.
