Default Why dont I have 60A fuse for my ABS

I have the Series 1 forte AU and noticed that in the fuse / relay box in the engine compartment there is no yellow 60AMP Fuse for the ABS. Does that mean I dont have ABS brakes?...or is the fuse just missing?

if you don't have the fuse you probably don't have abs. is there a big thing next to the coolant tank that has brake lines coming in and going out of it?

Series 1 Forte/Futura don't have ABS (Fairmont and above only) - you can stop looking now. LOL.
