I did a v8 swap 5.0 from a 1998 ford explorer into a 2001 ford Ranger edge 4x4, I swap out from the 1998 Explorer AWD the abs module and G-force transceiver, This is what I did. I: remove the ABS module from the ranger, its connector is connector C135.

II: mount the explorer “G-Force Transducer” to the ranger. It mounts on the drivers side frame rail directly next to the fuel pump. Its connector is connector C312.

III: there are three wires coming from the “G-Force Transducer”, an OG/BK wire circuit # 886, a YE wire circuit # 887, and an OG/WH wire circuit # 836. These three wires need to be extended all the way to the ABS connector C135.

IV: connect the OG/BK wire circuit # 886, to pin #14 on C135. This pin on the connector will be empty.

V: connect the YE wire, circuit # 887 to pin # 13 on C135. you will have to disconnect the wire that is currently there, it is the brake pressure switch and will no longer be needed.

VI: connect the OG/WH wire, circuit # 836 to pin #1 on connector C135. This pin on the connector will be empty.

VII: pin # 19 on connector C135 is the VSS signal output, circuit # C679. Connect a GY/BK wire to pin # 19 on connector C135 and splice it into pin # 32 on connector C146 (the grey firewall connector). This will tie the new conditioned VSS signal into all the other systems.

VIII: plug the explorer 4WABS module into connector C135 and bolt the module onto the ABS system.

…although I figured out how to wire in this system, credit goes to NICE for identifying why the speedometer was not functioning.

The problem that I'm having is the ABS light stays on and the truck will not go into gear, it starts and runs ok, it went into gear fine before I change out the ABS. I did put new brakes on and bleed them...Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
