Hi there Matt
Im going to relocate my ABS module and was wondering can I just empty out the brake system (drain all fluid) and move it to where I want and plumb it all back up or do I need to leave fluid in certain components?? |

Not really but you may find it will take a while to bleed it through and get a good pedal as the abs systems can be tricky when bleeding them once dry.

Think you will find that you will need a scan tool to bleed it as I have found when changing other abs modules.

You will have to operate the valves in the abs module to bleed it.

I just spoke to a Ford technician and was told the only problem maybe resetting the brake warning switch once everything is re connected as the light should come on if it is disconnected.
Maybe contact Ford and speak to one of there mechanics and get a second opinion before you proceed. PS. You may want to check the legality of moving the abs unit as well because this may also be a problem.

Thanks guys I'll give ford a call if I run into trouble, I have a factory ford manual so that helps but I'm sure something will not go smoothly knowing my luck....
