ABS question

[Hurricane Eyes]

Hi

I just bought a 97 mustang and when I push on the brake pedal hard I hear a hissing sound?

When I start the car the ABS light does not light like all the other lights on the dash.

I have 2 questions. Is this hissing sound normal and shouldn't the abs light come on for a second when I start the car.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

I don't think you should be hearing a "hissing" sound.


What does your fluid level look like?

Is the fluid leaking anywhere?

What color is the fluid in the reservoir?

Fluid level is fine, no leaking and the color seems normal

ABS light is probably blown out and needs to be changed.


Are you sure your Mustang has ABS??

Is your Mustang a GT or V6?

The hissing sound is probably the booster going out.
