cheers for your help... what happened originally is the brakes were playing up and it turned out to be the master cylinder that was knackered so i changed it and with it the fluid that was about january time and only now it has got the lights on... i think it could be the pump also because ever since i had the car when you pull away there's a slight screach type noise which also happens if you brake very hard( so that the abs will be working ) and it's definately from the abs pump i think

you say fluid is new?now im thinking this could be the problem.i have all the data on the abs and a lot of it will need a diagnostic to find the fault.has it only started since its been bled?if so i can tell you the correct bleeding sequence.if your not to good with cars i would connsider putting it into a ford garage,i had the misfortune of fixing the same fault same car and it turned out to be the pump,try,d and try,d to bleed it even used a pressure bleeder.the reason the pump had gone is the ignition had been left on for 30mins or so
