It flashes on after I drive a few 110 feet. In town as on the hgway.
I noted no special pattern.

I first thought it started after a long or heavy rain fall. I had the windshield tested at two garages, specialist on windshield replacement. Had the vehicle tested at 2 Ford dealers
All the systems were checked, brakes and all.

In late fall and winter, had no such problems.

When the lights come on, both at the same time, I stop on the road shoulder on near the sidewalk, shot down and restart the motor after a delay, between 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Sometimes, it does come back, but sometime it does not come back.

I pak and come back to the car and get back on the road and it doest not come back.

I was having supper and didn't tealised you had sent a reply.
As I am french and not much of a mechanic, I would like you to tell me wwhat you mean by this :
I would like you to top off your brake fluid
I may see it in my mind but I'am not sure completely

Thank you Bob

I might have to wait for my cousin, next monday to have him do the test for me.
But then, It may take saveval days for me to test road the result, as the problem does not emerge every day.
What do i have to do to get back to you, lets say in a week or so ?

Yesterday, I have contacted every firm involved in the search for the reason for my problem. I went back to my mechanic Jacques, to the dealer shop service department, and to the firm that made the oil protection for rust.

I have confirmed with Jacques, my mechanic and he confirmed that when he made a full check up of the brakes systems, he had replaced the master cylindre.

I am woundering if there is a ABS electric module, and if so, if it would be in the side panel, near the right front door, i.e. behind the door post, below the windshied, close to where the oassenger legs would stand ? I will get the confirmation from the dealer.

I had an oil treatment for rust protection made the same day the windshield was replaced, this was before the problem was first noticed.

Last friday, I had a second firm made a full check on possible leaks from the windshield, and nothing was found but : the first time I had an oil treatment made, they made several holes to do so.

A whole was made in the door post, about 10 inches from the top, just at the level of the bottom of the windshied. During this last treatment, plugs were removed and the technician noticed that in the top whole, the plug had been removed but was not replaced.

Is it possible that there is an ABS electric module below this hole ?

Then it would be possible tha water infiltrated in the post, running to the module.

Or again, when the first treatment was made, 8 years ago, that the wires above the module would have been damages and over time, would becaume grounded or other and cause the warning signal lignts to come on the dashboard.

This is something that I suspected, all alone, that water was the cause, since I beleive that the firsst warning came only a few weeks after the last treatment was made.

Every times I mentionned that I thought the problem came and alert came on, I thought it was in relation with infiltration of water the day, or the next day after a long rain period or a heavy rain fall. And after a few days, the problem resolved as water had dry.

In the meanwhyle, I should have my car tune up made, oil changes and inspection of all king.

Jacques my mechanic will be able to reach behing the plastic decoration panel near the door post and will be able to confirm is a wire has been damaged or if there is any trace of water or rust on the ABS electric module.

Then I'lll come back to you, unless you have any other idea on the cause.

Thanking you in advance

I had the door panel beside de right door post and checked for trace of water leak, as there was a plug missing at for the oil protection renewal of last year. The checkup was negative. It also showed that there was an electric module in that section, but it was not related to the ABS electric system.

I was asked by the Ford dealer to stop whenever the lights would come on and this morning they made the test with the computer test and it revealed that the ABS module had to be replaced. The electric system was integrated in the ABS module (unde the car.

I have an appointment for the replacement on july 3rd, as It was imopossible to be free before that date.

I just hope that it is not a wire damaged in the line before it connect to the module itself. We will see and I will get back to you.

Please acknowledge receipt of my last communication on june 21 and to day's communication..

have a nice week.

Hy Super Bob,

After all the suggestions, the testing and several replacements, we aggred to replace the ABS module unit. (Cost for the specific module was $841.92, or $1260.73 including labor and taxes.

I will drive and test for a few weeks before I consider the repair being the right one to definitively get rid of the problem.

The lights used to come on at the beginning once in a few weeks, but lately it came on whithin a few minutes every time I used the vehicle.

I'll get back to you to tell you how the test came on.

Thank you in the meanwhyle.
