Hey, guys. Trying to see if anybody has a used ABS master cylinder laying around. I have issues with mine, and I don't want to go to St. Thomas and take chances with the brakes.
I know that my accumulator is gone bad - every time I press brakes, antilock and Brakes lights come on. I've been driving for a while like that and only today learned waht that means. Anyhow, I couldn't get brand new accumulator from Ed or any other Ford dealership. I was wondering if anybody has a spare unit laying around? I will pick it up tomorrow!

I have good accumulator. you can take the whole abs system, just needs a new motor.

Just a suggestion, this might be a good time to think about swapping to conventional brakes.... I did mine a few months back and no more problems!!! I just had a hard time putting in the brake booster, at first I hadn't removed the plastic thing that holds the wiper motor, after i removed it and moved the wiring under there, piece of cake. I would highly recommend it since the parts are very cheap, and you probably won't have to worry about if for a long time.

thanks for suggestion, Kevin, but I am convinced that ABS is far superior to conventional brakes...I don't want to get into argument what is better...
i am sticking with ABS. Thank you, man for your concern. I do appreciate that!
BTW, I think nobody else knows that, but Kevin was one of the potential buyes for my car 3 years ago. I car that car just few days before he inquired about it;)

Np, everyone has there preferences! I mostly did it for peace of mind, my accumulator was WAY overdue. As for your car, I had called just a few days after he bought it lol.
