Abs issuse

[2.3LRNGR]

I own a 93 ford ranger xl 4x4 5 spd and my abs light is on and i dont think i have abs in the front is there a sensor in the rear brakes they are drum??

The sensor for the rear is in the top of the differential housing. It only has one.

Nope. On a 93 the speedometer is mechanical, geared off of the transmission. The differential sensor is strictly for the ABS.

One bolt, one connector. Easy.

Ordinarily, though, these sensors are pretty reliable. It's probably ok. Most likely the problem is the RABS valve, and that is another matter entirely.

What is the RABS valve??

It is the electro-hydraulic actuator/modulator for the ABS system. See this thread and search for others.
