I'm still here. I'm just a little distracted, I'm shopping for Bronco parts at the same time. I'm looking at a new oil pan, bolts, and a seal. Plus a CAI, new exhaust, and s 2" suspension lift with all new shocks and springs.

Well, I think I'll get some shut eye too. Got to wake up early for work 
I had a very busy day. Woke up since 6:00 am. Paid some bills, bought a starter for the Mazda cause it died yesterday, replaced the starter. That fixed car no. 1. Then it was the turn of the Stang. It was draining it's battery overnight and throwing a couple of trouble codes (TPS voltage higher than expected and MAF voltage lower than expected) Found a misplaced fuse on a place that a circuit breaker should have been used if my car was a convertible. That solved the voltage codes. Now another code appeared during KOER testing, MAF out of test range (#159) I' removed it and saw some carbon build up in one of the elements. I'll try to clean it later to see if it solves the problem.
Then I found (at leas I think that was the cause) that the ABS was constantly powered on and was draining the battery, so I disconnected the 4 pin connector.
Chat later.

I don't have time to commit to a job right now. Too much other stuff I have to do. I try to work for my dad whenever I get the chance but that's about it. I applied to a bunch of places last spring, but never heard back from them, even after calling them when they were hiring again.

Later Eduardo. If you get a chance. My ABS light on my Bronco stays on constantly. The owner's manual says that this means a system failure has occured and the ABS is disabled and regular braking is still working. What should I check first. Find ABS fuses and check those, but if its not that then what do you think?

Well Nathan I can't believe noone called you back. What kind of job were you looking for? Around here there are so many jobs available its crazy. I know of plenty of jobs from $8 to $25 per hour. Either noone wants to work or there just isn;t enough people.

Are ABS sensors on the individual brakes? What does it look like?

I want to try working at my dad store again this fall, but this dumb girl there has mono, and he won't tell her to take a break. Mono is the last thing I need right now.

yeah theres a sensor on each of the wheels. it detects how fast the wheels are spinning and comares to the other wheels. thats how the car knows when there is slippage.
I'm not sure what they'd be like on a bronco, or if they're different, but heres one off a mustang
theres alot of coiled up copper wire in them
