Very odd problem crown vic 1994 . abs brakes. 2 years ago brake pedal vibrated while gently stopping at a slow speed.The car stopped smoothly.The pedal pulsed up and dowm rapidly for an instant.It only moved a fraction of an inch. It never did it again until a year and several thousand miles later same exact thing happened, and only once.
A week ago it did it again. Pads are new. rotors ok- Car stops smoothly. any one hear of this? I asked many mechanics and they have no clue.

From the symptoms your describing, I`d have to say that for whatever reason, you engaged the antilock brakes. Was the road wet? Did you hit the brakes harder than usual? Whats the condition of your rear brakes? When you experienced the pedal pulsation, did you see any lights on on the dashboard?

Check the wiring harness to the wheel brake sensors.
Could be a wire in the harness is just starting to get a hole worn into it and touching ground, tricking the abs to think it's a wheel trying to lock up.
