| I have a 2000 ford econoline van with about 60,000 miles driven. the abs warning lamp is on. i took it to my ford dealer for checking. the service manager reported that the left wheel sensor was shorted out and needed to be replaced. i told him to fix it. it seems that this may be a subject for recall, since there is no before-failure warning. *jb | |||

| Abs module shorting out because of brake fluid in the module. i heard a loud popping noise just outside my home where my van is parked, less than 2 ft. from the house, and went out to investigate. smoke was billowing from the drivers side engine compartment, so i raised the hood and disconnected the battery. the smoke was coming from the area of the abs module, so i removed it and the cover had blown off, and the circuit board inside was fried. this is a potential fire hazard, and yet i was unable to locate a recall about this issue. my van is a 2001 ford e-350. the vehicle was idle, and had not been driven for almost 2 days (it was the weekend), the engine was not running, the keys were not in the ignition, and the van was locked at the time of this incident. *tr | |||
