The "so easy a caveman can do it" abs disable mod with pics

I saw that, I already cut the green wire, just going to re-wire by his method

 

I'm curious if you guys are connecting a ground to your switch. I tried this method originally and kept popping the IGN-2 fuse (10a). After removing the ground and changing to an On/Off SPST switch everyting worked correctly.

 

I used a ground. If you connect the ground to the wrong side it pops the fuse.
If it doesn't work by just opening the circuit (BensonX way) then you need the ground.

 

I ended up getting everything to work, but I used a round about method.

I had an SPST switch custom engraved by ottratw that I was determined to use. However, even though it had a ground on it, the ground on it seemed to be for the LED light in the switch and not the wire at all.

I ended up buying a SPDT relay and wiring the switch, the spliced green wire, and a ground to it. The SPST switch controls the SPDT relay and everything works as intended.

 

Wooohoooo! Now to haul ass and be able to stop in a hurry!

 

No doubt roundabout. Glad it worked for you.

 

Now it makes sense why you wanted to use your switch! I am jealous!

 

I have a whole series of them going in. Roof light bar, bumper light bar, back up light, air compressor, abs disable.

All six will eventually be the same style ottratw switches.

 

Did mine today, after procrastinating for to long. All in all took around 45 , with sottering and trimming the switch to fit.
Light comes on with the switch flipped then off when I hit it again


Switch placement

 

Nice!

 

Ya it def was very easy for me, I guess I was one of the lucky ones

 

This still has me curious why some pop fuses and some don't, almost make me want to recommend tryong it without using the ground first, if that's no dice, then try grounding it

 

Dude that is exactlly what I did! Tired it without ground and no dice, wired in a ground and and it work

 

I to used an OTRATTW switch in conjunction with a SPDT relay and it works great. For the record I tried it first without grounding with no luck, but it works great when i ground it.

For those planning to go this route you can order a Carling switch from OTRATTW that is SPDT (the V6D2 series) that will work for this application without having to add a relay, or use a SPNC relay (SPST that is normally closed, not open like most), or do the same as Mxpatriot and I and use a SPDT relay, though they do tend to cost a bit more.

 

After almost dying last winter due to ABS on snow, I'm doing this mod this weekend.

Thanks OP

 

This was probably my favorite mod, such a huge difference

 

I agree with you on being my favorite mod! It really lets me open her up off road wolith out wondering if abs is going to send me in the bushes or worse...

 

No to revive an old thread but where'd you get your safety switch from

 

If I remember right, I picked mine up at autozonen
