Anyway to turn ABS off?
When I put my Welds on with 28r/26f tires the ABS goes crazy. Wondering if I could pull a fuse or something to shut it off. Thanks for any help with this.

Pull the fuse #40 (#43 as well if needed)

I'm sure wether to head towards the end of the track with the ABS completely shut down is such a good idea either...

Pulled the fuse 40/43 and fixed the problem, Wish I would have pulled those when I first started racing the car, Don't have to mess with turning off T/C anymore. And car stops fine with the ABS off. |

Yea. Like a Christmas tree. I don't have to stock radio so I don't know if the warning chime was going off. I have that turned off. Lights on was Brake, ABS, StabiliTrak.

That's how my 4th gen was too...had to cut the traces to the LED's on the back of the circuit boards...pain in the ass, but was worth it in that car.

I had to pull the ABS fuse on my Alero over 3 years ago. No chimes, but the ABS and Brake light are on, but oddly enough, the traction control lights are not, even though I know that is now inactive, too.
The brakes will function without it. You just have to be aware that in a panic stop, you'll have to pump them or threshold brake yourself to keep the wheels from locking.

Does anyone know how the proportioning works once ABS is disabled?
I'm moving from the VW world, and for example: 1) 2007 Jetta 2.0T - had a fuse for ABS pump, and a separate one labeled brake pump. When the ABS pump fuse was pulled, you could still feel the rear-wheels being proportioned when necessary. All traction control, ABS etc was completely disabled otherwise 2) 2010 EOS 2.0T - VW no longer had a separate fuse for ABS at all. When I did some *deep* research, I located the ABS control unit, which was manufactured by a third party.. not a VW part (and, not surprising in this day and age) Anyhow, I disabled ABS by removing the left-front ABS sensor wire, and traction control, ABS, EDL, etc were all disabled. However, rear-wheel proportioning still worked. -- In both cases, you can feel the rear wheels with mild stutter, but it's not like an ABS stutter, and definitely rear-wheel only. The best way to describe the feeling, is that the car itself is just throttling rear-wheel brake pressure, and the stuttering is indicative of the braking system reducing braking pressure via stuttering.. and without the use of sensors. EG it's providing the same function that an older style manual proportioning valve would... So... The above makes complete and perfect sense, in that, you don't want an ABS fuse to blow, or a sensor to go, and then have 50/50 brake split. It would certainly lead to potential additional accidents during such an event. Does anyone know what GM does, or... what the Camaro does? I'm not looking for speculation, although I do appreciate that we all like to. I guess what I'm asking is -- some people are disabling ABS. Some of those people must have had events where proportioning would be beneficial. Has anyone had any real-world experiences that makes them believe that proportioning exists with ABS disabled? |

My first vehicle was a 67 Chevy short wide. I think I can handle it. I could unhook the front brakes and still have better brakes then the 67.

Any ideas on the proportioning of front to rear brakes, without ABS? Do you find the rear end slides around a bit more when braking? Or, do you notice any pseudo abs stutter like I described above, on the rear end only? |
