Default how can i tell if i have abs

96 tracker the master cylinder looks pre abs, just a regular looking mastercylinder except 3 lines coming off it instead of 2.
i have had the entire brake system apart while replacing just about everything and there are no wires or sensors around the wheels
BUT
there is circut breaker labeled ABS in the fuse box located under the hood.

in case your wondering ,yes it is because i cant seem to get the damn brakes to bleed i am noticing that this seems to be a common problem but i have not found any solutions to mine yet

fuses dont mean squat. why would the design 2 fuse boxes. kinda expensive.
Master cylinder (front end, line ports)
non ABS has , 2, , 1 up , 1 left)
ABS has 1 , up.

huge modulator unit to left of MC
also elect wire to each brake mount , and tone wheel on each rotor.

back to brakes.
what parts were removed?

MC, did you prebleed that , as it said in the new box or rebuilt box. and method?
the above can not be skipped.

The whole deal:
using a vac bleed tool ( harbor freight $30 or less , nice brass tool)
bleed , LR , RF, and the LF. (RR has no bleed on manY a kick)
run half a quart thru. (the trick here is ignore bubbles, as youll get them falsely,ok?)
(90% time , i have perfect brakes now)
10% solution:
then bleed again old fashion way , 2 man bleed.
look now for bubbles.

if that dont work ,get a pressure beeder or make one.
have plans. and email them.
nothing better, in the world.

been a long day, no the mc is the same,i replaced rotors calipers pads,wheel cylinders shoes hardware.
bought a vacume pump some success drivers side front but thats it.

during the head scratching i realized there is a bleeder nipple on the rear perportional valve and it (the valve) is completely rotted&rusted so i just finished throwing that a way (had to cut all the lines) so first thing tomorrow i will start making lines.

i am hoping this was at least part of the problem but i wont know untill tomorrow

sorry forgot to tell you of the proportioning valve bleed.
it is in the manual. on 96's

if you had rotors off , youd see the TONE wheels for ABS , I am sure.
