your ABS light WILL stay on.

yeah what he said^^^^ i got one off of a mustang

What year mustang. So i can just go to the parts store and get one.

like a 96-98 i think not real sure

well drove my truck all weekend at dragfest. had no brake problems once the abs unit was out. i was also told it was a type of proportioning valve, not what you guys were thinking, but just for abs. i was told by several people that haveing a split resevoir acts as a proprtioning system. my truck stopped just like it always has. only down fall is the abs light. but it matches the check engine and air bag light. haha.

you can always pull the guage light for the airbag, and check engine.

p.s I dont know about fords when pulling the check engine bulb on the cluster if it makes the computer go into a open loop. so check that before doing it.
