This is a dangerous problem, dont worry about the abs or trac lite till you get the steering fixed..... Could be a loose steering rack ...when you move the steering wheel that much and the tires dont move you have a serious problem..PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE until you can have someone look under the car it should be vey very easy to see whats wrong Good luck

URGENT WHEEL BEARING SAFETY ISSUE

Its your wheel bearing... replace it ASAP! You may have noticed a hum while driving over 35 that changes when you rock the steering back and forth. A while after this the lights come on as the sensor is part of the hub assembly.

My trac light is on, on the dash board. Where is the wheel sensor located ?

Your vehicle is equipped with 4 of them. They are located at each of the 4 wheels. There are other reasons that the Traction Control light can come on...wheel speeds sensors are not the only reason, athough they are the most common. The traction control system works with the engine/powertrain control system and with the antilock brake system. A bad wheel speed sensor will usually also turn on the Antilock Brake (ABS) light. If the Check Engine light is also on, you could have an engine control problem causing the Trac light to come on.
.
If the Trac light is on by itself, you may just have the traction control turned off. The Trac Off switch is located on the steering column.

If none of the above solves your problem, then you will have to scan your computer system to find out why the light is on. ( i.e. failed wheel speed sensor...but which one?)

The speed control no longer engages, I did checked the fuse and it's ok. The on/off cruise switch on the left side of the steering wheel does not luminate when the lights are turned on. Could it be the...

Some Fords have a pressure switch (it's round) on the end of the master cylinder for the brakes. Disconnect that switch for test purposes only. Now take it for a test drive does the cruise lock on now? If so that switch is bad. KEEP IN MIND the cruise will not kick off, when you touch the brake with that switch disconnected, DO NOT continue to drive it like that. Turn the cruise off with the "OFF" button.

1994 850 wagon trac light and abs light come on while driving

I will bet money that it is the ABS/TRACS module. It is mounted under the master cylinder on the bottom of the ABS unit. These are very, very, very common failures. I have replaced hundreds of them in my career. To answer your other question, the TRACS system uses brakes. For example: in the snow, when the L or R wheel is spinning faster than the opposite, the TRACS will apply brake to the spinning wheel to slow it down to an equal speed. Hope this helps.

Abs and trac control lights are on

It is one of your wheel bearings. The problem is easily solved by taking the car to a dealer, or having a code reader, and determining which wheel bearing is bad. The wheel bearing is under $150 and should be installed by someone with some muscle, as the bolts are torqued from the factory extremely tight in a tight location. The wheel bearing have all of your sensors for abs built into them and if that sensor goes out your computer tells the abs and traction control to shut down, hence you get the lights on on the dash.

2002 oldsmobile bravada smart trac all wheel drive frt tires wont engage

drain the transfer case and check for metal particles in the fluid, there also may be debris bigger than that, try the fluid change in any event then if that doesn't do the trick you will have to overhaul the transfer case, this is a standard transfer case used by light duty trucks and SUV's based on a truck chassis, not the viscious drive type used bt passenger cars like Suburu

2004 ford sport trac - cruise control no longer works

This problem is most times caused by an open circuit in the rotating contact under the steering wheel, this part is called the clock-spring contact, it supplies a connection to the airbag and steering wheel controls like the cruise, horn and radio controls. I would check the fuse as well to cover the bases, it is fuse #9 in the passenger compartment fuse box, it is a 7.5 AMP

Abs light, trac light, service engine soon light

The problem is probably the wheel hub bearings and it is more that likely the front. I had the same problem a few weeks on my 00 grand am gt. Connected the car to the tester it gave me a code for left front wheel bearing. I replace both wheel bearings because i figured what the hell they both have the same amount of miles on them. Taaadaaa no more lights!!! Hope this solves your problem.
