disabling ABS

I did a search but did not come up with any useful info on this. But does anyone know how to safely disable the ABS system? i know that disabling the ABS system probably isn't safe...but i'd like to do that anyway. temporarily at least.

I was planning on simply disconnecting the 4 wires that plug into it. Is that all there is to it? or am i missing something?

any help is appreciated.

All I think you have to do is pull out the ABS fuse and voila.. disabled.

actually, it's not. for now, i went ahead and disconnected the 3 wiring harnesses that lead into the actuator. Hopefully, that should work.

you should be able to tell if it worked. if ads has a prob, the abs light on your instrument cluster (dash) should light up.

Have you considered pulling the relays?


best advice, look at a manual, figure out how it all works, then decide how to go about disabling it. Get a througho under standing on how the system works before you tamper with it. Once you under stand how it works.

I have a feeling that people are hesitant to help you out because this is really a dangerous and "worthless" modification.
