Well i parked the truck(98 f150) and went in to run a errand and i came back out and started the truck and it started fine…went to put it into drive and it wouldnt go into drive! Looked at the dash and the ABS light is flashing… Looks like it flashes 16 times… Is there a code that has to do with the ammount it flashes? Checked the fuse box and there was a blown fuse… replaced that and it fixed the problem but as soon as i got it in drive it did it again… Could it have to do with the brakes? maybee a short? If so how could i track it down location wise?

you may have had a abs sensor go bad. Find out what code it is and you’ll have your answer.

there very common for triggering a abs light either from the sensor itself or the tone ring one quick way to tell is hit the brake if it feels like its really not there at all well you need a tone ring but most common would be the sensor

just courious do you have 4 wheel disc

Well i tried the brake switch on the pedal and thats not it… replaced all the tail lights and it still does it…Now it seems like it takes a minute or two to blow the fuse after i start driving then i when i park it keeps the the truck in park till i replace that fuse…any more ideas?
