Each time the ABS warning light comes the systems control module is warning u that the ABS has developed a fault and is being disabled, this means when the light is lit u have standard no ABS brakes, the system computer module does set a code anytime the light remains on, a Ford dealer can read this code and tell where to look for a faulty part, which in most cases is one of the 4 wheel speed sensors.

In my windstar i had the same poblem, it was a broken wire by the front wheel, for the wheel speed sensor, mine was on the pas side, but either one could do it, just remove the tire and inspect the wires to the wheelbearing

I hope this helps you, please help me by leaving feedback, thank you

SOURCE: ABS and brake on 2001 Ford Windstar come on randomly

Do you mean the van is actually braking like a Starsky and Hutch move or that the warning lights indicate that they are on? If its lights then you may be low on brake fluid. Maybe a module leak

1996 Ford Windstar 3.8L, Brake light is on-brakes work fine

Abs light on means the ABS sytem has a fault.
You can determine what is wrong by counting the flashes (they say) and then put the data in on the web.

IE abs, windstar, failure, 3 flashes.

The brake light on is most likely picking up on uneven brake pressure, or a failing master cylinder/
You may not feel any difference yet, give it a little time, feel for a pedal fade at a light.
