[QUOTE="Loufish, post: 1377350, member: 26247"] A Gen2 Raptor owner has come across a strange situation...this is not one of those "I know a guy who talked to a guy and he said..." He had a ABS wheel speed sensor issue become a steering issue...Here's a nicely done video on his YouTube channel: [MEDIA=youtube]-uRbWbDjgzU[/MEDIA] Sounds crazy right?....How could Ford engineers dis-able the power steering because of a simple wheel speed sensor?.....I have no idea. But the story doesn't end right there, I met up with Helio this Sat afternoon in the Cal City area for a nite time Raptor run with 3 other Raptors....We get about 6 miles into the run and he loses his power steering AGAIN...he suspected the left rear sensor (which the dealer just replaced) and pulled the l/r wheel to inspect...It appears the tech replacing the sensor didn't give enough room to clear the hydraulic bump on the RPG kit installed and the air bump slammed onto the sensor lead. We were able to slice open the sensor lead where it looked damaged and sure enough the wires inside were cut...He repaired the wires with crimped butt connectors, performed a battery dis-connect to possibly clear the ABS and sure enough no lights on the dash and steering returned...We ran the next 120+ miles with no issues.. The wheel speed is tied into the ABS, Traction Control, Stability Control and of course Cruise Control...but this is down right stupid for the power steering to be dis-abed for a simple sensor failure.. Speed sensors fail on their own, they fail off road when damaged from debris, and sometimes when performing brake maintenance... Some us running off road may think about carrying spare sensors...I run down in Mexico and can't imagine losing my steering down there because the ABS system on one wheel failed...Ford could just shut down the ABS, Trac Control and Stablity and leave our steering alone... Will keep the forum updated as we look into cost of sensors and see if left and right can be swapped (if so only need to carry one frt & rear spares instead of all four) Helio has a lot of really good videos on his Gen2, check them out...
