1999 FORD WINDSTAR ABS MALFUNCTION - ABS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. AFTER SKIDDING AND STRIKING A POLE WHILE PARKING, I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DESCRIBED TO PROBLEM AS AN ANNOYANCE AT WORST AND THAT THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES WORK FINE, THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, AND RECOMMENDED NOT SPENDING $1000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN PRESSED FOR DETAILS, THE DEALER SAID THAT THE ABS ECU ($1000 PART) HAS FAILED BUT NO BIG DEAL. JUST THE ANTI-LOCK PORTION OF OUR BRAKING WASN'T WORKING. I THINK THIS IS A PRETTY BIG DEAL CONSIDER ABS IS REQUIRED FOR VEHICLE SAFETY AND THE VEHICLE MAY NOT PASS LICENSING INSPECTIONS. *TR
