ABS = annoying..yeah

And to answer the question:
"does anybody know what to do"
I mean, did anybody see what I did wrong? I tried to find the ABS code problem using the blink method but I can't seem to do it. I unplugged the relays (one at a time because I don't know which one is the ABS Relay), put in a paperclip in the blue connector under the driver dash, put my key in position 2, switched it to 1 then 2 (3x), and waited for a code to flash at me.

Pins 5 nd 15. Look at the connector, the pin holes are numbered at one end inside the connector. You might have a clear plastic coated paper clip too. Use a bit of wire or sand it off till it is shiny.
If you are unsuccessful, post back and I'll take some pictures to help out.

So apparently you feel safer on the road with cars that may suddenly, and with no warning, loose their brakes coming up to an intersection you're crossing, than you would with someone driving a car without ABS that they know will always stop. Seems strange to me.

Dude, my post was directed at the numbskulls telling you to rip it out, not you. Luddites suck, learn for goodnessakes, its the only thing that keeps us separate from the apes.

How much real work is it to learn how to correctly drive a car in the first place? Take the thing out into a nice big empty field covered in Ice and snow and play with it, learn how to use your brakes, how to steer correctly to correct a spin, etc... these things SHOULD be second nature to a driver. Instead, we make drivers dependent on these Band-Aids and when those band-aids come fail they are screwed.
Also, how do you justify spending more than the truck is worth to fix ABS? I his case, being 16 I'm sure he's not loaded with cash dripping out his pockets to toss at this truck. Nothing about removing the ABS in these threads is incorrect and could save his life.
Oh btw, that service engine light is another issue. I guess telling him to reach under the pass side kick panel unplugging the module responsible for it and tossing as far away from the truck as he can throw it is again bad advice. Instead he should take the truck to a certified land rover shop and have the laundry list of mandatory repairs performed like the rest of the sheep.

Now here is my advice, you are dealing with a safety device in the vehicle and unless you know what you are doing you should never perform this work yourself as the results could actually cost you your life (I am not saying not to learn how to do it but don't use the manual or the forum as your teacher). If you can't afford to have someone who is trained in these systems repair it for you (or help/teach you) then you should take the cheap route and just disable it.
PS usually the code is wheel sensors and if I remember correctly they are about $250 each.

Thanks guys.
I tried to use a different paperclip, and yes it was all metal. No luck. I'm guessing I'll just take out the fuse under the hood. I do not feel like dying just because my Annoying Bull Spit system is very touchy and needs constant care. I don't have the funds to spend $1200 on front and rear sensors (if that's even the problem) and I am just trying to keep her running and working. If I can drive and do everything normally without ABS then yes, I feel she is working and running properly. Thanks guys for the help anyways.
