yo eaglesoaring,
WELCOME!
As for, "ABS doesn't even light up"
If Amber (yellow to some folks) ABS lamp in Instr Panel does not light up at all when starting it; then suspect that bulb is burnt-out or loose, socket was damaged by PO or shop, etc. or someone removed it.
Amber ABS lamp in Instr Panel.. The 4-wheel anti-lock brake system (4WABS) is self monitoring. When the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position, the anti-lock brake electronic control module will perform a preliminary self check on the anti-lock electrical system indicated by a momentary illumination of the amber ABS warning light in the instrument cluster. During vehicle operation, including normal and anti-lock braking, the anti-lock brake electronic control module monitors all electrical anti-lock functions and some hydraulic operations.
In most malfunctions of the anti-lock brake system, the amber ABS warning light will be illuminated. However, most malfunctions are recorded as a coded number in the anti-lock brake electronic control module memory and assist in pinpointing the component needing service.
You can test for codes and then go through the Ford pin-point tests,
BUT INSTALL ABS lamp in Instr Panel if missing or burnt out; if good, more tests and inspections will be needed. see

Often the 4WABS module's two micropprcessors burn out; seems it happens that the 93-96 4WABS Modules after 12-15 years to a large percentage of Broncos on the road. Two yard modules were bad for me..No returns so I'm running without 4WABS, just like the old days. BTW, just in case, the 93 Bronco Module is Different than the 94 Modules.
