Thank you for this great detailed video. Just did mine this weekend, this helped tremendously. Took your advise and looked for a pump that had been replaced, but unfortunately my local junk yard had only one fusion with the correct part and it was OEM. Decided to take the chance and so far it is working. Only bump in the road I had was even with the stubby torx socket I couldn't fit my socket wrench in to get the #40 torx bolt. Went and bought a L-shaped torx wrench set, problem solved. Part was $51 and bought probably $30 worth of tools to make the job easier. Guessing I saved myself at least $500.00.

I love your really positive attitude and the details in your verbal comments about tools used. I wonder why the yellow tie when doing difficult work like this job? Years ago someone showed me how to bleed brakes using clear glass jar and rubber hose from the bleed nipple to glass jar and fill the jar half to 3/4 full of brake fluid and let hose drop below the level of the brake fluid in the jar. The air will come out and fluid in jar prevents air getting in. This way a single person can do the bleed job without a 2nd person. Seems like Ford should do something about the high rate of abs failures. Chevy has same problem with the Kelsey Hayes 2WAL and 4WAL abs and everyone knows, but no one does anything to address the situation with unreliable abs systems and the high cost of repairs.

If you pump the brake pedal, do you get a pedal, and also, is there ANY brake fluid where the master cylinder meets the brake booster?

Anyone watching this who lives in Canada Ford Motor Company has a Recall on this part so the repair is free!

Got a question my brother's got a Ford Ranger pickup and we bled the brakes and he replaced abs and when you start the truck up hit the brakes they go to the floor are you supposed to bleed the ABS pump with a scanner

On this vehicle we did NOT need a scanner, we just bled the brakes manually. But that's not saying the Ranger is the same way, especially depending on the year.

now there is a recall reference # FSA 19S54

Yep, I just got my recall notice as well for a 2008.

All the calipers are in same problem the oil is not coming in the calipers

Not sure if anybody else has faced this problem, but mine is different. My ABS pump on 2007 Ford Fusion SEL V6 with only 90K miles, is leaking from bottom at one of those two cylindrical pistons. I first changed the master cylinder thought its an internal leak in the MC, but I figured its a ABS leak when I was bleeding the system for hours and was never able to get the air out. Noticed the ABS is sucking the air in, and leaking out the fluid. I am gonna report it to nhtsa site.

did you ever get this issue resolved??

They just recalled certain ford fusions up to 2010 in December 2019..for this problem. Unfortunately, not all cars are recalled. I'm having this problem and my car fits the category by year and model but not under vin number? When I called the gov place and they ran everything they said "your car is safe to drive" really? My breaks went out while my car was running?!!!

$3,500 is what they quoted me. My car is immaculate and fully loaded but it certainly is not worth more than that. Which is why I'm looking up these videos. Maybe it's something that can be done outside of ford for a gentler tag. Ty!

@@trustthesmiledetailing7817 The best advice I can give is look in the salvage yards for an earlier fusion or Focus that did NOT come with ABS. Once you find it, you can follow the instructions we gave in the Impala series. Hope this helps!

Make sure to remember that the Milan/Fusion/Zephyr runs DOT4, not DOT3 brake fluid.

You replaced the module as well? I thought only Ford could program those and that's why only Ford should replace these?

@OnlineAutoRepairVideos

Notice how we did NOT replace the module, but only replaced the pump part? As long as you just replace the pump, you do not have to program it, or have it programmed.

See. Ford is just trying to get more money from me. They are saying g the whole module needs to be replaced because replacing just the pump is a half job that may soon require the whole module to be replaced anyway. How does that make sense? Thanks for your response. I appreciate your videos!

So the part you need to replace that fixed the problem hasn’t been improved since the model came out. What’s to say the issue will not come back again? The part is 1300 dollars and I think that’s way too much money for a part that Ford hasn’t even recalled.

Unless they fixed the issue and never told anyone, so the new ones will not have that problem again. So far this one is doing great.
