MARLEY Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 A couple of days ago my ABS light was flickering and now its on all the time, could it be a faulty connector or broken wire ? Focus 2007 2.0L Diesel Thanks in advance Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peers88 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi Exactly the same thing has happened to my focus... ABS & traction control lights flickered now staying on! i have also noticed that the fuse box is 'clicking' far too much and the ABS seems to engage under light braking. Dont know if you have had any of these symptoms? Taking it to the ford dealership tomorrow so will keep you posted. hope this is of some help to you.

Barry_ Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Maybe there is a sensor that is dirty - maybe a quick clean would help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Could be a cracked reluctor ring on one of the hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rojariggs Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 My money would be on a wheel sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARLEY Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Just a quick update, I have unplugged each of the four sensors at rear of each wheel in turn and the light stays on. Where do the wires run to ? Anymore help will be appreciated Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARLEY Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Is there a way to check/test each wheel sensor ? Many Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart J Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I had intermittent ABS and Brake lights indicating for a number of months but the local dealer failed to find anything when checked. Finally I had them check when Brake light was on permanently and they found the instrument board was faulty (apparently there was a recall shortly after the car was built) and they replaced it under the warranty I had with them - car bought from them. From reading here I knew this was a possibility and that perhaps they were just stalling. The car is a 2004 LX and the cost would have been between £400 - £500.

Paul Presumably they might have used an improved instrument board for your model so my problem might not have been the same. I had the ABS light on intermittently as well as the Brake light, sometimes both on. Regards Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalcraig Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I had same problem with mine and put the diagnostic computer on, no signal from N/S/R sensor. swapped N/S/R with O/S/R and still had no signal from N/S/R. After a bit of investigation, I noticed one of the wires on the loom between N/S/R sensor and chassis had a slightly swollen bit on it. I peeled the outer cover off the wire and found the wire was corroded. Connected both ends with a crimped terminal, problem solved. How did you get on with yours?

MARLEY Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Breaking News Just had my car plugged in and the rear nearside wire to the sensor is corroded about 2 or 3 inch down the line, repaired and working, GOOD RESULT. Happy Days :D :D :D Regards Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
