This is on my 2003 F150 Screw 4x4.

Just wondering if anyone local to the 510 area has a scanner to read abs codes?

Did some research and found that commonly it is the rear speed sensor on the top of the rear diff that goes out.

I pulled it and tested it to 1900ohms and i believe that is technically still good.

I don't mind swapping t out just in case it's ont $20 but if it's not the culprit i'll still need the code read i guess.

Any help or advice anyone?

Thanks

Did you check one of the leads to ground and see if you have voltage? I'd check for a blown fuse and then the wire harness. the front ABS sensors may also be damaged since they are out in the elements.

Nope didn't do that i will when i get under there again.

Checked the under hood fuse and it looked good.

Visually the front sensors look un-harmed just dirty i sure hope those aren't bad i priced one at $159 [Eek!]

I may just try and swap out the rear sensor since it's only $20.
