Where can I locate the ABS sensors to try to cleam them out to see if light in dash goes off?

The ABS sensors are located on the back side of each front spindle and there is one on the top of the differential housing.

I sincerely doubt if cleaning them will solve your problem. I suggest that a bit of diagnosis is in order. The system does store trouble codes, but you need an older type of scanner for Ford products to read the code(s).
