ABS eliminated

[deermagnet]

So how do you disable the ABS? Pull all the ABS fuses?

Yes, it's just that simple. There's only one ABS fuse in the box under the hood. Then you can try to put out the ABS light if you want to.

A long time ago when I first realized the danger my ABS presented, I would pull the fuse the night before an expected snow storm, and replace it a day or two later. Then I figured an easier way would be to install an ABS cut-off switch. I could turn it off instantly from in the cab. I put the switch in the blank next to the mirror heater switch.

If you replace the fuse or turn the switch back on, the light will not go out and the ABS will not work again until the ignition is turned off and on again.

That worked great for years until I developed an ABS problem. I never tried to fix it. I pulled the fuse, put out the light, and never looked back.

The repair manual says that ABS uses a large amount of electricity. Without ABS, there'll be less strain on your alternator and battery.
