I replaced the pads and discs on the front of my Expedition. Prior to the replacement, the anti-locks worked fine. Subsequent to that, the anti-lock light has been illuminated. The brakes work OK (straight and even) but will not actually lock up the wheels even when pedal pressure is applied vigorously.

The discs were OEM from NAPA (as were the pads). I've tried resetting by disconnecting the battery. Any thoughts on what I may have done wrong?

I don't think you did anything wrong. Actually, the brakes on your vehicle shouldn't lock up. However, if the ABS light is on, they should. Regardless, check the ABS sensors at each wheel. One of the sensors may have come disconnected or one of the wires may be damaged and you just bumped something when you were working on it.

Let me know what you find.
