Ford F-150 2004  220000 miles
Hi friends, I have a problem with my Ford F150 2004: I changed the discs and the shock absorbers and now the ABS and brake indicator lights came on. I already changed the sensors and checked the discs. Ideas?

Check the ABS connector plug, it might be loose. I just tried disconnecting mine and it did the same.

First check that the lamps in the stop lights are working, and if they are you have to check the interrupter that is on top of the brake pedal. Normally that is the one that fails... when stepping on the pedal it should send the signal to the lights, otherwise it won't work

Hello all! My truck doesn't have ABS, a mechanic already checked that, and it doesn't have ABS sensors either, but in the dashboard the ABS light and brake light are on. The scanner doesn't show anything, does anybody know what's going on and how can I fix it?

In these trucks, the ABS sensor is on top of the differential. Check that out, and good luck!

This circuit is on a separate fuse. I was unable to get a correct fuse diagram(no manual) so I did what I should have done, took it to my mechanic. He is normally booked 2 weeks or more out. So he said to bring it in first thing in morning. He got all the specs on the truck, went in to the office and came out with a diagram. Pulled the fuse replaced it all in about 10 minutes. Best part NO CHARGE! love these guys.

No Brake lights (except third), but turnsignals, and running lights wo

Ford F-150 2000  150000 miles
Brake lights do not work, (third above the window does work), Turn signals work and running lights do as well.

Since the third light works I assumed it was not the switch... I checked all fuses and they were all good. I changed all bulbs, just to check and the same results.

Any ideas?

Check wiring harness connector up next to spare tire. I had same issue and that's where problem was. It's easier to fix if you remove spare tire. Use 12V test light to find wire. Good Luck

Ruff idle cuts out while driving loss of acceleration

Ford F-150 2005 Extended cab 4.6 stx 321500 miles
Check engine light was on so had auto zone run a scan on it. And at that time my truck would barley creep down the road. Well holy crap a ton of codes parked it till was able to slowly work on it. First changed all spark plugs helped a little then all 8 coil packs. New throttle body new EGR valve. Got a little better new fuel filter. Still ruff idle and cutting out on exceleration. Used smoke machine to check vacuum leaks didn't see any smoke. Checked vacuum line from brake booster that hooks to back of intake seems intact. Brake light stays on mostly sometimes flashes on and off. I'm at a loss help me figure this out. Plz

Same problem,,,,help,,,I'm not gonna put a ton of money into this,,,any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Stranded redneck gal from United States 7 months ago
Well I guess nobody has a clue. I have changed the throttle body w new solenoid. EGR valve mass air flow sensor spark plugs coil packs I even made my own small key machine to check for vacuum leaks. Nothing I cleaned fuel filter and o two sensors. It has around 40 psi for fuel pressure. Help this country girl is tired of being broke down guess I'm gonna round up a old nag of a mule to ride to town and back. Saves gas... sorta
Backwoods G from United States 4 months ago
Check your duct work before the mass air flow sensor. Look for any hole or crack that could suck air. If it sucks air and begins to swirl inside of that duct work it will make it run rough. I’ve got a 99 F150 that had same issues i cleaned my mass air flow sensor, on underside of duct there was a rubber grommet that wires run through that had come loose, and a 1/4 inch gap where plastic met the fender. I secured and taped the grommet and taped up the gap and it instantly changed, runs like a top now.

Fuel system issues 2012 Ford F150

Ford F-150 2012 2wd trk,6.2, F150 crew cab 127000 miles
First started would crank but not start. Check and replaced fuel mump fuse that was melted on one side. Started without any issues, however, the engine began to run rough and have power surges. I disconnected the battery for 5 minutes thinking it would reset the computer.
No change in the system. Runs rough, slow acceleration and sometimes will die at a stop light. Should i replace the fuel pump driver or the fuel pump first?
