I have always wanted to disable the ABS when I go on the trails. I do however enjoy the functionality while on road. Does anyone have a definitive answer on how to do this, pulling fuses ect.. I have almost seriously dmaged my rig due to the ABS pulsing and I did not enjoy the hair raising experience. Any help appreciated!

I had ABS failure on my way back from Las Vegas last year. It was a faulty sensor, and the ABS would kick in whenever it felt like it, which is not fun when you are going 75 on I80. I pulled the fuse under the steering column in Colorado, and drove back to NJ without any further problems other than the ABS light of course being on. You
should be able to do the same thing on the trail.

Which fuse it it?
Or is it clearly labeled "ABS"?

Also on disco 2s, if you start the vehicle with the diff lock in, traction control and ABS are disabled.

Might be the only one out here with this opinion, but up here in New England, having abs has made some steep windy decents far less exciting and far more under control as I weave between the trees.
I recommend you leave the abs working

off road is no place for ABS; you need to be able to control your vehicle yourself, not having this machine kick in when it wants to. Personally, if I could take it off and chuck it, I would, along with a few other parts that worry me, like the alarm/shutof system. The simpler the better, especially when the truck gets older. In fact, a carburated engine sounds pretty good also. No relays to worry about, no maps, nor MAS.... cool!

I find the quickest way to disable it is to pull the plug from the module (under hood). No pulling fuses from different places and loosing them, etc. Just put the plug back on when you want it to work again.

Where exactly is the plug that you pull from the module?

By Milan on Monday, March 26, 2001 - 05:46 pm: Edit

On my 96 NAS, it is on the module itself, facing the engine, it's a multi-pin sqare black plug that has a locking tab.

If you need more description, let me know.
