This video shows you how to install a new ABS wheel speed sensor for your 2009-2014 Ford F-150.

It's amazing how easy some of these repairs can get. Almost like Ford is aware of their reputation and lean into it. In any case, thank you very much. This saved me about 600 in dealer costs.

Great explanation and clear video; really useful video for F150 owners.

A battery powered torque/impact wrench is a godsend in these situations. Get one with 1/2” drive for impact sockets.

Should the abs light go off by itself ? Or do you have to clear the code

I was told I need a new ABS module, which runs 1500-2000 bucks. Hoping to do this and magically avoid replacing the entire module.

Does the ABS wheel sensor work in combination with Ford advancetrac? I ask as my 2013 has the the random advancetrac warning light come up. Thanks for what you do

I’m furious. I made it up until taking the caliper off and just can’t do it because of the fucking seized nuts.
