Check the brake fluid level first add "new" clean DOT #3 brake fluid just enough to the minium line see if the ligh gos out. Antilock brake light on that model sometimes a rear axle sensor or Antilock brake Valve. Get that checked at Ford for best diagnosis and repair.

That means your CAB (Controller Anti-lock Breaks) pump is bad... and it is usually a computer problem.

I believe you need to electric grease on the light bulbs your running low on grease. When you have to much friction they can light up. Fill the resivor up with grease check your brake cable bearings too while your at it.

If your parking brake is not fully released it will disable the antilock system. Could be a stuck brake cable. Get the brake system checked ASAP.

Red brake light could be low on fluid or parking brake on.. Yellow aintilock light is probably a wheel speed sensor open circuit [bad sensor].

Fords are quite known for this problem, i have a 1998 windstar and my ABS and brake lights are on 24/7 even though i just had new brakes and such put on they still are stuck on there. for some reason ford has issues with their sensors. If you have had your brakes done recently then i wouldnt worry about it but if you still have original brakes on, i would get them checked out just in case. some places check for free

the van has some kind of problem with the anti-lock brake system. take to the dealer and have them check it out.. . . . of course you could always put a piece of black tape over the light so you don't have to see it all of the time
