ABS Trouble
I have a 95 Ranger and my ABS light comes on intermittently although its come on more often than usual recently. I checked the flash code and I got code #12. My Haynes manual doesn't say anything about ABS codes buy my Chiltons manual doesn't help much either.

Re: ABS Trouble
Its not so much that my ABS isn't working, I just hate looking at lights on my gauge cluster. I just was wondering if there is a quick fix so I don't have to tear apart my dash to take the bulb out. Ive taken the dash apart several times before to replace bulbs, replace headlight switches, but I don't like taking it apart.

You try resetting the fault codes by unplugging your battery?

Re: ABS Trouble
Mine has a code 12 but it is related to the airbag. Your abs light can be cause by several things. Vehicle speed sensor, abs module, low brake fluid...

Re: ABS Trouble
Crawl under your truck, and gently wiggle the sensor(s), and make sure they are on completely. Mine did this, and when I did the above it went off, and has stayed off. Might just be as simple as the connection being loose.

Re: ABS Trouble
Well I checked my sensor and wiring and they were all good. I even tested the resistance in the sensor and it came in the range of the proper resistance stated in the Chilton manual. Finally I took off the wiring by the brake fluid reservoir and sprayed some contact cleaner on the electrical connections, and that has done the trick. No more ABS light.
