What does the ABS mean in your Ford truck?
ABS means either Antilock Braking System or Anti-Blockier System, depending on where you live. (What it does: if you stomp really hard on the brakes, it will rapidly apply and release the brakes for you, keeping you from skidding out of control and crashing.) If the ABS light is on in your Ford truck, that means the electronics that control the anti-lock part of your brakes are not working, and you need to take the truck to a mechanic.
Do trailer brakes automatically lock when the air lines have been disconnected?
Air pressure within the air braking system of a tractor-trailer (or large truck) is what prevents the brakes from being applied. The pressure of the air pushes back a large spring at each wheel. The large spring will apply the brakes when there is no pressure in the system. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, air is released out of the system and the brakes are applied. When the driver's foot comes off the brake pedal, air is quickly pumped back into the system and the brakes are released. Disconnecting the air line has the same effect on the trailer's brakes. Air is released from the system, and the brakes are applied. It is not the brakes themselves that lock. Application of the brakes causes the wheels to lock.
