ABS disable mod for 05+ Tacomas w/o VSC & locking diff write up *pics*

Yup, that will do it. If you look back at my photos, the bottom terminal of the switch is ground.(white).
The connector side of the green wire (blue in my case) goes to the centre terminal.
The other end of the green wire (yellow in my case) goes to the top terminal.
Look at post 141 of this thread for the pics. The blue wire coming out of the connector body will green in your case, cut, and spliced to whatever wire you are using.

 

I see now. So is the green wire mod is under the dash and yhe op is under the hood. Right?
So my ? Is ,how many have done this with issuses?

 

So i see ehat he did wrong after reading your version through. He grounded the wrong side of the wire coming ftom the fuse. The light green wire or blue in pic.
Like you said it comes from the fuse so that side should not go to ground.
That said you should check your switch with a meter to insure that side of the green wire dosnt go to ground. If your not sure about what i said ask someone to help you with electronic / electrical background. I could draw a pic but it probably wont help.

 

So what I did was put the ground in the middle, that explains everything, I think you just gave me inspiration to try it again

 

exactly
here is apic to help you
This isn't my mod and I haven't done this yet just drew this up reading through the post. so if im wrong please correct me. I plan on doing this soon.

 

Awesome thanks man I'm still learning this stuff as I go, with it being used for work is a slight occupational hazard heh..

And it's good to see what's in my mind layer out on "paper".

 

Eggzackery! Nice diagram, I shoulda, coulda done that myself in my post originally, thanks for adding it.

 

Yup, mixing those up = shorting +12V straight to ground, which is why the fuse blew. Follow jqueener's diagram and you should have it.

 

I find it helps to draw it out, as a simple drawing. a lot easier to follow when your working on it then to try and keep reading words on a cell phone under the dash.

 

This times 1000 lmao

 

So common to a terminal abs is on / common to b (ground) abs disabled

 

Yes.

 

not all switches are the same so check the switch before install.

 

I just finished this mod. Works perfectly.

 

tested it out yesterday in snow,ice, and mud. i will say in the mud it was a huge improvement.

 

Success!

 

Can anyone post a link (if one exists) to a similar mod for a 3rd gen (2017) SR5?

 

Getting ready to use @landphil method on my 2010 Sport. Forgive my electrical ignorance, but will a SPST switch work or must it be a SPDT switch as landfill used in his application? I'd like to use a

$24 CH4X4 Push Switch for Toyota Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Fortuner, Hilux, 4Runner, Prado 12V 3Amp - VSC Symbol - Green LED

CH4x4 push switch or similar & all seem to be SPST. Any switch recommendations would be appreciated.

 

A SPDT on-on switch must be used, but that could be a 5pin relay controlled by a SPST switch like you want to use. Pin 30 of the relay is then equivalent to the center terminal of my switch, pin 87a on relay is the top terminal of my switch, and pin 87 is the bottom terminal of my switch.

Pins 85 and 86 are the control coil, one ground, one power, and switched by your SPST push button switch.

 

Yep but that's a lot of work just to not use a double throw switch
