ABS not working

I have installed 07 GT 500 brembos, stainless braided lines, and New stainless hard lines from front to rear of the car. I went to bed the brakes and the brakes locked up like there is no ABS. I thought I needed to bleed the ABS unit, so I purchased a scan tool, Autel MaxiCheck Pro, that runs the ABS. When I connect the Autel it cannot communicate with the ABS, so something else is going on. Any thoughts?

The ABS pumps are a known issue with these cars. Are you sure the light for the ABS is still in the dash?

Yes the ABS light is there, and lights up. I will show my ignorance here, what will the light tell me?

That means there's an issue with the ABS module. There used to be someone on ebay that would rebuild the modules for a decent price. I'm not sure if he's still around.

ford seems pretty notorious for failed ABS modules/computers, had to replace the one for my Mach as well

if the module goes out you get an abs light, traction control won't work (feeds off the abs system, at least new edge cars did) and an abs scanner won't be able to communicate

I found the guy on eBay! Where is the module?

Bolted to the passenger side frame between the engine and radiator. You can remove the module from the pump with the brake lines still connected. It takes a little finesse, but you can do it.

I've been having abs codes ,
Car has been sitting

It comes and goes on mine at the moment on mine without using scanner to clear

I've been watching parts yard here for a replacement but mustangs here don't sit long before stripped

Haven't looked yet to see what other models used this piece

I "think" this one is a Cobra only piece due to the brakes.

I replaced mine back when I first got the car with a good from someone on here. But I don't think it's ever worked. It has some soft code about vehicle code not matching. I don't get the ABS light and I've never had the traction control turned on so I don't know if it's acting up.

Im still looking for other reasons being my light goes on and off on its own,

I do get codes for this but also relay,

Only thing which is a 50/50.

I did put 10.5 wheel with 315s on

It's the module going in and out. Mine did the same thing until one day the light never went off. I hid it with a steering column pod for a little while. The 315's don't matter unless you went to a taller tire. But I've been on 315's for years.
