Well...my ABS pulsing is finally driving me crazy. The car had a new ABS module installed and new wheel sensor and 80% of the time when I push the brakes to stop, it pulsates. This was the problem it had before I sunk 1000 bucks into it and guess what...it still does it. My local mechanic's computer reads that the right front wheel is traveling 10 MPH faster than the left front. I know that is the cause...but they couldn't correct it even with the new module and sensor. They sent it to a ford dealer who stated.....their computer saw no issues with any readings. They then sent it to another ford dealer and got the same response. CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I am at the point of pulling the ABS fuse (which will take off traction control too right?) because I am sick of the non-stop pulsing. It happens at all speeds. I don't think my rim is bent. PLEASE HELP STANGNET FOLKS!

Well, I pulled fuse #29 and disabled the ABS along with my traction control. I have to admit it is nice not hearing/feeling pulsating brakes everytime I stop. Any other ideas? Could a bad rim cause this?

I'll Check....its just that it has had this problem forever...even when they had just replaced the sensors and such it still did it. I am at a loss. It has been a lot nicer driving without the abs on. Wish the money I had sunk into the module had worked. Stupid abs modules are expensive!!!!!!
