I have an ABS warning on 1994 Lincoln Town Car

The simplest things can cause the most trouble - I would start with a load test on the battery - may seem to be charged after using a battery charger, but can have plate connection problems causing failure under load.

Thanks.

I had a very similar problem in my 93 town car. I ended up changing the Calipers, rotors, and pads. This stopped the grabbing, but still every once and a while the ABS light would come on and grip the brakes on me. I ended up pulling the ABS relay from under the hood.and the problem has stayed away. The only thing is that now i dont ABS brakes. Its a heavy car tho and i havent had an issue yet. Also, if you decide to do this, the relay way mis marked in my car, when i pulled the ABS relay, the Air shocks went out instead. Had to pull one at a time until the anti lock light came on, then i knew i had it.

the abs light on the dash should come on when the abs is working (emergency braking)if it comes on when braking normally(gently)chances are a sensor is gone(replace in pairs,fronts & rears)
abs stops the wheels from locking up in an emergency brake situation,you will feel the grab-release,grab-release on the brake pedal......

Yes they are not difficult to replace. WOW 1800 bucks thats redicolous. You can get a new car for that

YOU HAVE A DEFECTIVE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, TO DETERMINE WHICH OF THE FOUR IS DEFECTIVE HAVE FORD DO A SYSTEM TEST FOR THE ABS TROUBLE CODE THAT SETS WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON.

YOU HAVE A FAILTY RELAY AND SWITCH IN THE CAR

One of the ABS sensor's is bad or a hub bearing is bad.Could be front or rear.

brake light switch located on the steering column by brake peddal

Did the dealer clear the codes last time you were in. they have to be cleared
