Ok Ive ben fighting this for about 2 years now. I have poasted on this subject before but no one could figure it out, here goes.
Right after I got the car the ignition switch went out. I replaced it with an autozone special. After I was done I noticed the breaks got hard after driving it around a wile. I also found if I turn the ignition switch past run and hold it before the starter engages the ABS pump moter would run, charge the break articulator and cycle. 2 to 3 pumps on the pedal wouild cycle the pump for about 3 sec (Act normal) with the key in the normal position after 15 pumps or so I get no breaks. I have replaced the relay and the ignition switch with a dealer part . NEW INFO today as I was sitting in my driveway I turned the key to on and herd the pump run. Thats different I thought has it fixed it self???? nata turnes out with the emergency break on (Lights the break light on the dash) the system functions properlly I tested this by driving the car with the emergency break pulled to the first click the break light stays on but the ABS pump cycles normally. Now the only thing I can think of is the system is not geting power and somehow it backfeads through the dash light when I pull the emergency break rember this all seemed to start after replacing the ignition switch and I had ford triple check the part number they say its the same part for SCs and non SCs which to me dosent make any sense as non SCs dont have the pump. Any help would be appreicated!!
