Brakes fail at slow speeds. Sometimes they work, some times they start working and quit and the truck slides. No abs lights coming on and the abs doesn't pump. Slid into parking curb stop, almost struck oreilly auto parts building in atchison and jammed my neck. Had brakes checked, master cylinder replaced and brakes were bled with new fluid. Every thing in good shape, but brakes are still failing. Mechanic in atchison said this is the second Ranger he seen with this problem; on the other Ranger they removed the abs fuse and brakes functioned fine. Was told there were no codes or abs lights on vehicle until fuse was pulled. With no codes being set, unable to figure out this problem. Ford not willing to instruct as to what is going on without charging $80 an hour for repairs. Have limited income, can not afford to take vehicle to Ford. Vehicle is dangerous is going to cause a collision. Please help.

Abs light (orange) always on, 2000 Ford Ranger. Also received recall for cruise but not abs.
The first time the brakes locked up and didn't release I was coming down the street where I live going less than 15 mph and when we hit the brakes my truck didn't stop and we went sideways trying to stay out on-coming traffic. This last time it locked up I was already on the brakes going less than 15 mph and I came within an inch of hitting the car in front of me. I have brand new tires and brakes all the way around. This should not be happening. There is something messed up in the computer my abs light never even came on while I was sliding.
Abs light stays on while driving. Dealer notified.

When vehicle is parked & left in sun for a length of time & then start up, abs light comes on & stays on. Abs brakes would shut down. Need to turn vehicle off & restarted to activate abs braking system. Will be taking vehicle to dealer to check.
Intermittently the abs warning light will blink on and off. The master cylinder was replaced on 8/4/97 and the light still continues to blink.
