I'd suggest joing the Expedition Owners Group Mailing list and asking the
question to that group - see
http://mail.xpog.com/mailman/listinfo/expedition .
Asking in the forms at www.flatratetech.com is also a good idea.

A 1997 Expedition has 4 wheel ABS, not rear wheel abs.

I would GUESS your control module is bad, although it is possible you have a
pinched wire that has shorted to ground. The control module is attached to
the ABS pump

www.directfordparts.com will sell you a new control module for around $211.
However, the Ford Shop manual talks about programming the unit with vehicle
specific data. This might mean you cannot do it yourself. This is definitely
a question for the techs at www.flatratetech.com .

This is a job probably best left to your Ford dealer or a competent
independent garage (not Midas).
