I recently used Forscan to program a key, and while I was there I checked which modules were found and ABS was not found, other modules that weren't working displayed an error, but the ABS section just said none.All Rangers after 1986 or so have Rear Wheel ABS(RABS), some got 4 wheel ABS(4WABS) 1998 and up
ABS light should come on with key on and then go off
If you were under 1/8 tank of gas then when turning 90deg left or right the gas in the tank can slosh to one side and fuel pump sucks in some air, then hard acceleration can cause engine to stumble and even die
But ABS light shouldn't have come on just battery light(normal when engine stalls)
ABS light coming on usually means whole vehicle lost 12volts momentarily, not just the fuel pump, and ABS light should have gone off after a few seconds
In 1994 there will be the Starter Relay on the inner fender, sometimes mispronounced as "starter solenoid", lol
One of its larger posts will have battery Positive wire attached and several other wires with it on that one post
That post is the 12volt Power distribution point for the whole vehicle
Remove the Battery Negative cable from the battery, FIRST
Then remove all the wires from the larger starter relay post and clean them, then put them back on
Clean Negative battery cable and terminal then put it back on
See if the problem repeats, this would be "bump" related not turning like a low fuel level issue
Could be an issue in the engine bay fuse box, but that gets all its 12volt power from that starter relay post so start there
So, while I was digging into the airbag system last night I finally got around to popping the hood in order to disconnect the battery.With engine running the vehicle is not using the battery at all
Alternator supplies all the voltage, minimum 13.5volts, usually about 14volts
Battery is only 13.0volts at most, so with engine running voltage flows TO the battery to keep it charged
A vehicle will stay running with battery disconnected
So loose battery cables wouldn't cause a stall, a no start yes, but not a stall
Alternators 13.5v+ volts is hooked to the post on the starter relay and goes to the engine fuse box from there
