Default How to disable ABS?

Is anyone have an idea, how and where to fix switch for disable ABS system. A few months ago (maybe Year) I read on forum disco2.com, but this forum not exist any more. I think, that you need to separated a wire with switch, but I not remeber where they are.

What year is your truck and why do you want to disable it?

Year 03/2001. Why to disable? When you try to stop the truck in bad weather condition (snow,muld..) it's like in movie. If you unersand me, I'd like to disable only ABS, no TC or other controls.

That will be a hugh mistake on your part. If you think the truck stop poorily now with the ABS you should see one stopping with out ABS. As for the T/C, without it, you might as well be driving a limo with one wheel drive.
I would bet your dissatisfaction is coming from bad tires and possibly a lack of experience driving the Disco or driving in poor weather. By the way, you can only turn off the ABS for short periods of time if you have CDL and know how to engage it so the ABS goes off.

I just pull my fuse when I go wheeling, Nothing like going down a steep sandy slope and the abs kicks in. Scares the crap outta you.

You need to get those baloney skin tires off your truck and get some real tires. Then your ABS will be a non- issue.

Also forgot to mention that the traction control is run by the ABS so if you want T/C you have to have the ABS engaged.
Think seriously about better tires.
