Consumer Description

THE ABS/BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON. IT SOMETIMES WILL GO OFF (USUALLY WHEN THERE IS ROAD SALT ON THE ROAD. IT STAYS ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER THINKING IT WAS THE BRAKES/OR THE BRAKE SENSORS. THEY SAID IT WAS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILING. IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO REPLACE. WHEN THE INDICATOR WAS OFF I TOOK THE CAR FOR EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND IT PASSED. NOW THE EMISSIONS INSPECTION IS DUE AND THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND $900.00 TO REPLACE THE PART ON AN ELEVEN YEAR OLD CAR ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM. *TR
